IDAHO: Raise the minimum wage

| October 26, 2012 9:00 PM

Throughout the year 2012 I have filled out several job applications. I have also gone to several interviews. And still I can’t get a job in North Idaho. I honestly don’t know why our economy here is so bad. Also if you’re getting ready to graduate and move out of your parents’ house you’re going to have to work two jobs because there is no way you can live off $7.25 per hour. I believe Idaho should do something before it’s too late for future generations to come. I propose we should support candidates that will raise Idaho’s minimum wage to something closer to Washington’s.
