Summary:
"Even though readers may be too young to earn a wage, the issue of minimum wage affects many Americans to some extent. This book introduces readers to the hot topic of minimum wage increases, which is often in the news. While some people think that the federal minimum wage should be raised to $15 to help lift people out of poverty and pay for rising rents, other people think that it will hurt business and lead to higher consumer prices. This tough topic is tackled with familiar language and relatable situations so young readers can comprehend arguments on either side. Readers will embrace critical thinking skills as they weigh both sides and check out the facts"-- Provided by publisher.
