Min wage is up

Anyone else happy that min wage is going up by a buck in RI? I mean it would be nice if it would go up to 15, but I'll take the 11.50.

Totally agree that we should strive for $15, but $11.50 is an awesome step in the right direction!

Every little bit of an increase in pay helps at this point Jordan so this is hopeful news. I fear $15 p/hr over the next few years is going to be too little - too late! The cost of living within major cities for most/all 'essential workers' is Unattainable and unfortunately Out Of Control!

Just a realistic observation, not a pessimistic one. The bump in the min wage is good news but we still have more work to do. Thanks for sharing this encouraging news Jordan.

Enjoy your weekend :)
