Speaker. that there was not a decrease In the number of jobs. there was an increase as a result of the increase of the minimum wage in the State of New Jersey. About 10 States have increased their minimum wage since we last did it in 1991. and as a result of that there has not been any dramatic unemployment in this country. In fact. unemployment numbers are down in this country. People are working. For the gentleman from Georgia to get up here and to suggest to this body and to this country that raising the minimum wage will increase crime. will increase illegal aliens. will increase the drop out of students in this country is just an absolute outrage and is wrong.
