By Obama will announce a minimum wage of $10.10 for all federal contractors. Obviously, it would be better if he would use the bully pulpit to force the Republican House to enact a national increase in the minimum wage, but if he has to adopt the Heritage Foundation’s minimum wage plan instead I guess we can live with it.
This order should have a very real impact — currently, the federal government is responsible for more low-wage work than Wal-Mart and McDonald’s combined.
