Clinton advisers weigh automatic minimum wage indexing
Clinton aides debate raising the wage floor to $4.25 or higher and consider annual indexing to offset inflation losses. Some propose stepping increases toward $5 an hour while critics in Congress doubt gains. A liberal policy study supports modest increases with negligible job loss. Also notes a college planning seminar by Wesley J. Mumm in Frederick.
