Nebraskans have approved a ballot measure that would gradually increase the state’s minimum wage to $15, making it the latest red state to adopt the policy position long championed by those on the Left.
The city of Lincoln has only two permanent workers who make less than $15 an hour, but it has more than 550 seasonal and temporary workers below that threshold.
We’re deep into the longest period without a raise since the federal minimum wage was enacted in 1938. Every day without a raise is another day the minimum wage is a poverty wage instead of the anti-poverty wage it was intended to be.
