SENATOR SHAHEEN CALLS FOR PASSAGE OF MINIMUM WAGE INCREASE ON SENATE FLOOR

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) went to the Senate floor to urge her colleagues to increase the federal minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $10.10. An increase in the minimum wage would result in a raise for more than 110,000 people in New Hampshire and help lift more than 10,000 Granite Staters out of poverty.
