"California News: California Dem defends call for $50 federal minimum wage?
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (TND) — Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., on Monday defended her demand for a $50 federal minimum wage, citing the high cost of living for Californians.
If implemented, Rep. Lee’s proposal would hike the current federal wage roughly seven times the current $7.25 minimum. The remarks came during a U.S. Senate debate in which Rep. Lee’s Democratic challengers called for wages between $20 and $25.
I know what worker productivity means and that means that you have to make sure your employees are taken care of and have a living wage,” Rep. Lee said, noting her past experience as a small business owner.
The representative continued, citing a United Way report that showed $127,000 is “just barely enough to get by” for a family of four in the San Francisco Bay Area. Another individual making $104,000 annually would be classified as low income, Rep. Lee said, citing another report.
“Just do that math. Just do that math,” Rep. Lee said. “Of course we have national minimum wages that we need to raise to a living wage. You’re talking about 20, 25 dollars, fine. But I have got to be focused on what California needs and what the affordability factor is when we calculate this wage.”
