Over the last two election cycles (2014 and 2016), many states approved increases in the State Minimum Wage. Has the sky fallen on economic and job growth? No, it has not. For decades, conservatives have cried that raising the minimum wage hinders economic and job growth but like most conservative assertions, this too is a red herring like tax hikes hurts economic and job performance. This is another reason why Progressives are on solid ground fighting for these principles across the country. All they need is strong candidates that speak to the people and are able to muster majority support on election day.
