Seattle Washington close to $15 minimum wage
In an interesting and slightly ironic footnote this statue of Lenin is located in Seattle.
The city of Seattle Washington is fighting for $15 dollar minimum wage. As CNN reports they are close to achieving this goal.
Seattle’s Mayor Murray is looking to raise minimum wage to $15 an in 3 to 7 years, not quite the $15 per hour that the fast food strikers are calling for today. It could even go as high as $18 by 2025 if the projected CPI numbers prove correct.
