Minimum wage plan sparks welfare concern in Senate debate
Senator Harrison Williams of New Jersey, chair of the Senate Labor Committee, pitches a bill to raise the minimum wage from 1.60 to 2.20, arguing it would cut welfare costs and ease poverty for four person families earning about 3,200 a year. He warns a 2.20 floor could save public funds by reducing subsidies to low wage industries and reinforce the need for a decent wage or government dole.
