-   -   Connecticut Becomes First State to Pass $10.10 Minimum Wage Bill (https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=322561)

Then again, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement that the American government seems hellbent on getting negotiated was predicted by a study to reduce the median wage and undermine real wages for the bottom 90% of Americans (not the top 10%). Raising the minimum wage in accordance with inflation is absolutely normal. But don't let it fool you into thinking that the American government is committed to raising its workers wages, lol. Raising the minimum wage, in the context of everything else that's going on, is not really a big deal.
