Raise the Minimum Wage SC!
Why is this important?
The federal minimum wage is $7.25/hour. That is roughly $250 income per week; the average rent in Columbia, SC is $699 per month. SC currently has no state minimum wage law. Do the math! We must demand employers such as McDonalds, Walmart, Subway and even locally owned restaurants to up the pay to 10$ per hour! Workers cannot afford rent, food, transportation and healthcare. Lets make a better tomorrow!
