Yet the Right is against a minimum wage increase. Here in NC that would help employment and give raises to many that are skilled labor. In all my years since I made Minimum of $1.85/hr, every time the wage was raised it led to increases for all.
Employers are finding they need to keep workers who are trained. The increase in minimum gives many a chance to move to a new employer.

Our deals with China are a very close second.
Repeal NAFTA and tax imports to match what our trading partners impose upon us. Level that playing field and jobs will come back. Over taxing American industry won't bring jobs home to America, but it will drive business overseas to more business friendly countries.
