“Our wellbeing is far better when we focus on strengths rather than weaknesses, on assets rather than deficits. This is where positive psychology comes in,” Professor Huppert said.

Lindsey Graham Offers Waffle House Plan to Dems Worried About $15 Minimum Wage
On 3/4/21 at 8:58 PM EST
Republican South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham has said he will talk to Democratic West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin about an alternate plan for raising the national minimum wage.
Graham s plan, suggested to him by representatives from the national restaurant chain Waffle House, would index minimum wage increases to inflation. His plan could also soothe Machin s worries that the Democrats proposal to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2025 would endanger small businesses already harmed by the pandemic s economic downturn.
While Graham didn t offer specifics when mentioning his plan to reporters last week, similar proposals have tied annual minimum wage increases to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The CPI measures changes in the costs of goods and services commonly purchased by households.

Minimum wage workers are receiving a slight bump in their wages in 2021. The $8.80 per hour wage is up only 10 cents from last year. An Ohio constitutional amendment passed in 2006 requires the minimum wage increase each year to keep up with inflation. But some experts say such a small increase will have close to no impact on low-wage workers.
Richard Stock, director of the Business Research Group at the University of Dayton, said if the minimum wage had in fact kept up with inflation since 1968, it would be about $12 per hour today.
“Fundamentally, low wage workers have less protection in Ohio today than they did in the late 1960s,” he said. “I think [the 10 cent increase] really is just a way of not doing anything about the issue and has no meaning whatsoever.”
