Gov. Cuomo Backs $15 Minimum Wage For New York

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced his support for a $15 an hour minimum wage across the state Thursday afternoon, and said the state labor commissioner has approved raising the minimum wage for fast food workers to $15 an hour.

“The truth is it’s wrong to have an economy… where the American dream of mobility and opportunity has become more of an American myth,” said the governor, who was joined on stage by Vice President Joe Biden. “An economy of the lucky and the left-outs, an economy where if you are born poor, you will probably die poor. That is not the American way.”

It's a pipe dream

This may work and the restaurants will need to pay the workers well as without the workers they would not be having anyone enter the store and also, need to take care of the customers which is a good way to give them confidence. I reckon that this will take time and hope the governor knows what he is doing, and also will be good to see this plan in action and hope it works someday. I think that it is a good idea and hope the people will enjoy the money they get when this wage is increased and also hope it works out, later on and hope a review occurs.
