BOSTON — The Massachusetts Senate voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to raise

the state's minimum wage from $8 an hour to $11 an hour over three

years, giving a boost to nearly 600,000 workers and putting the
state on

track for the highest such pay in the nation.



The Senate voted 32-7 to approve the increase.



Under the bill, amended during debate, the minimum wage would increase

to $9 an hour on July 1, $10 an hour on July 1, 2015, and $11 an hour

starting July 1, 2016. The minimum wage in Massachusetts last increased

to $8 an hour in January 2008.



This province has a minimum wage of $10.30

The righties in the USA like to keep the poor as poor as possible, so
they can be more easily controlled.

People should be encouraged to get an education and not be concerned
what the minimum wage is.
