Study: 95% of Lawmakers Who Support Minimum Wage Hike Don't Pay Their Interns
At least 174 of the 184 lawmakers who support legislation raising the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour do not pay their interns, according to a recent Employment Policies Institute analysis.
In the Senate, Senators Kamala Harris, Chuck Schumer, Cory Booker, Chris Murphy and 20 other cosponsors of the Raise the Wage Act hire unpaid interns. In the House, Representatives Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, Keith Ellison, Maxine Waters and 145 other cosponsors do not pay their interns.
On "Fox & Friends" this morning, Stuart Varney said the phrase "do as we say, not as we do" is quite applicable here.
