Alaska has some of the highest costs of living in this country. The current minimum wage is not adequate to meet the needs of its residents. We need a $10.50 minimum wage.
Why is this important?
The cost of living in Alaska has increased so drastically since the recession that families can no longer make ends meet. I know many families who have had to move to the lower 48 because they could no longer afford to live in their home state. Our state's current minimum wage is $7.75. Join me in calling on our state legislature to raise the minimum wage to $10.50.
