Danielle DiMartino Booth of Quill Intelligence, First Trust Advisors chief economist Brian Wesbury and CFRA chief investment strategist Sam Stovall provide insight into the markets and Janet Yellen's confirmation as Treasury secretary.
Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., slammed President-elect Joe Biden's Treasury Secretary nominee, Janet Yellen, for giving a 'disappointing' answer Tuesday on the impact a $15 federal minimum wage would have on small businesses that are already struggling during the coronavirus pandemic.
"I asked @JanetYellen how raising the minimum wage to $15 affects the millions of #smallbiz on the brink of closing," Scott tweeted Tuesday. "Her answer was disappointing & didn’t mention the 3.7 million jobs the@USCBO estimates will be lost. I'll fight to protect businesses from these damaging policies."
