No surprise. More campaign lies from the Queen of Sleaze.
Clinton had been out on the campaign trail publicly cheering the individual states which enact a fifteen dollar per hour minimum wage, while still holding a more reserved approach on the national level. (She previously supported a roughly $12 per hour level.) But later in her primary fight against Bernie Sanders she began sounding more and more as if she was ready to take the Fight for 15 to the federal stage.
Don’t bet on it. We now see that Clinton has been sitting on information which shows what most of us already knew: this would destroy jobs for the most vulnerable workers on a broad scale. One of the biggest reasons, as shown in the linked release, is the simple fact that relatively few minimum wage workers are heads of household or currently living under the poverty level. Most of those jobs are entry level positions which require the lowest levels of skill and experience, so they are taken by young people looking to get that first entry on their resume.
