The fast-food industry is notorious for employing millions of Americans at poverty wages.
When families can afford the basics, they can reinvest in their communities, and higher wages means a broader consumer base for businesses.
When workers make more money, they respond by being more productive in their jobs and are less likely to leave, reducing turnover costs. This puts money in business' pockets, and workers also then have more money to spend in the local economy.
Income inequality and wage stagnation finally took their place among the principal moral issues of our time.
The minimum wage isn't earned only by people working at fast food restaurants and in service industry work - the average income for positions like nursing assistants, preschool teachers and paramedics are all under $15.
Today, the gap between productivity and compensation for the typical worker is larger than at any time since World War II.
