The minimum wage should be raised in Illnois. An hourly wage of $10.10, times 40 hours a week, times 52 weeks, works out to an annual income of just $21,008 -- not very much to live on!!
Why is this important?
People should be concerned about the minimum wage for two reasons: 1) there's a major misunderstanding about what the hourly wage adds up to, and 2) the state's economy would be *boosted considerably* by putting more money in people's pockets!
