| Could
You Get By On The Minimum Wage? |
California’s minimum wage is $6.75 an hour. Although our
cost of living is sky-high, we have the lowest minimum wage
of any state on the West Coast. Our minimum wage is not enough
to allow a working family to afford basics like housing and
healthcare. |
After vetoing minimum wage increases for two years in a row,
Governor Schwarzenegger now supports raising the wage to $7.75
per hour but does not want to include annual cost-of-living
adjustments. |
Low-wage workers should not have to wait for an election
year for an increase in the minimum wage. Please urge Governor
Schwarzenegger to increase the minimum wage and index it to
the cost of living. Click
