The fact that the $7.25/hour federal minimum wage hasn't been raised since 2009 is atrocious.

But it's actually far worse than that.

The federal minimum wage is worth ~30% less today than it was worth in 2009.

It’s worth ~40% less than in 1968.

It’s time to raise the wage.

@rbreich

I agree but how many states (and which ones) have raised the minimum wage on their own? In Arizona it's in the upper teens.
