However, the cost of living has gone up over the years and the MW has stayed the same. The current federal MW was set at $7.25 in 2009. I don't see $9-10 being an issue now.
And to those who claim this raise will cost jobs ... BULL****. McDonalds could raise the price of a Big Mac 5 cents and have their wage differential set.
It probably should be adjusted to inflation every 3-5 years. That would get us closer to $8 than $9.
