    28M Americans would benefit from a min. wage increase. Amanda from WA is one of them: http://1.usa.gov/1oYoUwY pic.twitter.com/N8LeepA4hP

        @USDOL - Amanda's debt to income level seems to be a problem. Maybe Amanda made some bad choices??

        @USDOL @ConserveTruth13 Too bad she might lose her job to offset that wage increase. Can't keep'em all, might automate as its cheaper.

        @USDOL I guess I'm the #sucker for getting marketable job skills to leave min. wage job behind. A #McJob is not a career move. It's a start
