To: Governor Phil Murphy
Governor Christie: Raise the minimum wage!
Governor Christie: Sign A2162 and raise New Jersey's minimum wage.
Why is this important?
It’s crunch time. A bill to raise New Jersey’s minimum wage is sitting on Governor Christie’s desk, and there’s only days left for him to sign it. The bill would raise the minimum wage from $7.25 to $8.50. Better still, it would raise the wage each year to keep pace with inflation.
Raising the minimum wage will drive up wages for all workers, create jobs, and give New Jersey's struggling economy a much needed jolt. Governor Christie needs to listen to the 76% of residents who favor the bill and sign it now.
