Restoring the idea of opportunity for all requires a year of action from all of us. Wherever I can act on my own, I will and whenever I can ask more Americans to help, Ill do that too. In my State of the Union Address, for example, I asked more business leaders to take action to raise their employees wages. Because even though our economy is growing, and our businesses have created about eight and a half million new jobs over the past four years, average wages have barely budged. So its good news that, earlier this week, one of Americas largest retailers, The Gap, decided to raise wages for its employees beginning this year. Their decision will benefit about 65,000 workers in the U.S. That means more families will be able to raise their kids, finish their studies, or keep up on their bills with a little less financial stress and strain. Gaps CEO explained their decision simply he said, [Its] right for our brands, good for our people, and beneficial to our customers. And hes right raising Americans wages isnt just a good deed; its good business and good for our economy. It helps reduce turnover, it boosts productivity, and it gives folks some more money to spend at local businesses. And as a chief executive myself, thats why I took action last week to lift more workers wages by requiring federal contractors to pay their employees a fair wage of at least $10.10 an hour. In the year since I first asked Congress to raise the minimum wage, six states have passed laws to raise theirs, and more states are working on it as we speak. But only Congress can finish the job and lift Americans wages across the country. Right now, theres a bill before Congress that would boost Americas minimum wage to $10.10 an hour. Thats easy to remember ten-ten. That bill would lift wages for more than 16 million Americans without requiring a single dollar in new taxes or spending. But even though a majority of Democrats, Independents, and Republicans across the country support raising the minimum wage, Republicans in Congress dont want to give it a vote. Hardworking Americans deserve better than no. Lets tell Congress to say yes. Pass that bill. Give America a raise. Because here in America, no one who works hard should have to live in poverty and everyone who works hard should have a chance to get ahead. Thanks, and have a great weekend.      ,TRX,_>e_f[`Ns^Swww.TingClass.net f[ ~,TR N,TRX00MQ9,TR N}0www.tingclass.net -  PAGE 1 -  &@DĹxhGKHmHnHujh}c6KHU h}c6KH h}c6o(h}c65PJo(h}c65CJPJo(h}c65CJOJPJo(h}c6CJOJPJo(h}c6jh}c6UmHnHsHtHh sLjh sLUhGh OJQJaJhGhGCJOJQJaJ"1ASb K % B $ 9r a$gdGgdGBDgdG0182P.
