In the article “Raising the Minimum Wage” I learned that government officials are considering raising the minimum wage. Currently, the minimum is $7.25 an hour which can be difficult to survive with this amount of money. Raising the minimum can be beneficial for those who need it but, it can also lead to negative effects. In my opinion, I believe that we should raise the minimum wage because there is a lot of poor families that need to pay for bills and food. They cannot live off of minimum wage because they won’t be able to afford anything.

Do you think the minimum wage should go up?

Dear Jeremiah,
I am impressed by your post “Raising the Minimum Wage!” because you mentioned how the minimum wage is $7.25 which I did not know. Also how people cannot afford to live off the minimum wage.
 
One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is:  “In my opinion, I believe that we should raise the minimum wage because there is a lot of poor families that need to pay for bills and food. They cannot live off of minimum wage because they won’t be able to afford anything.” I have to fully agree with you because $7.25 is very little amount of money.
 
Thanks for your amazing writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because your topic was interesting as well as your choice of words!
Jose
