Those are four deeply conservative. deeply red States. America wants a raise. If we are looking for issues where we can find common ground beyond immigration reform. perhaps we can start there. One of the reasons why I think we should start there is because. if you look at what the minimum wage really means in real terms right now. we are falling behind in terms of where we once were and also in terms of making sure that we are giving the people who are working for the minimum wage a fair shot to pursue the American Dream. If you were to look at this chart that is before us. you will see that in 1968 only 17 percent of the people who fall or fell into the category of a lowwage worker had some college experience. but in 2012 that number has shot way up: 46 percent of the people falling into the category of a lowwage worker with some college experience.
