Can't Survive On $7.25: Higher Minimum Wages for Working Wisconsin Source: High Road Strategy Center

Wisconsin's low-wage workers are struggling because the state has refused to raise the minimum wage since 2009, and has even failed to adjust it for inflation. This report shows that raising the minimum wage (and enforcing that increase) would improve economic growth, support employers that create high-quality jobs, and reduces racial inequality. The report offers sector-specific analysis of how higher minimum wages would affect Wisconsin's economy.
