Issue Position: On Jobs and Wages

Issue Position

It is time that we start having serious conversations about the minimum wage in our State. It is unconscionable that there are people among us that work 40+ hours a week, sometimes at multiple jobs, that cannot afford to live off of those wages. The increase in cost of living has significantly outpaced minimum wage requirements, and it is time we as a State take time to fix it. Jasmine believes that workable solutions can be achieved through collaboration with the business community, including small business owners.
