Should MINIMUM WAGE Be $15?
Score: 79%
Notes from the Newsroom:
This topic has not received a lot of air time yet as the bill is unlikely to pass in the near future. However, minimum wage debates are a central policy topic with broad implications. The bill has already been endorsed by several 2020 Presidential Candidates. The topic is deeply rooted in economic theory and there is a significant amount of peer-reviewed research to support both sides of the argument. We’d like you to decide.
