I think this will continue across the board. I just left a job paying $7.25 an hour for one starting me at $10.25

The whole economy is improving, even on the bottom end and people are now competing for workers rather then jobs, this is an excellent sign. If the whole bottom end can make it to $10 we'd have a lot less problems.

Then why not up the minimum wage $10?

Too simple of a solution.

Therefore, it cannot be correct.

Ya and if the market is demanding $10, then why not up it to $15?
