Give South Dakota a Raise
It's time to raise South Dakota's minimum wage in order to build an economy that works for everyone.
Why is this important?
South Dakotans value hard work. But for many hardworking South Dakotans, the $7.25 per hour minimum wage isn't keeping up with the rising cost of living.
Raising the minimum wage puts money in the pockets of hard working people who'll spend it on the things their families need everyday. That generates new business and grows the economy. And a lot of those folks will depend less on government assistance too.
That's why the South Dakota Democratic Party and our partners have filed an initiated measure for the 2014 general election to raise South Dakota's minimum wage to $8.50 per hour with annual cost of living increases. Because South Dakotans want an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthiest CEOs.
Stand with us and sign our online petition to show your support for our initiated measure to raise South Dakota's minimum wage.
Together we can start making South Dakota a land of opportunity for all people again.
