## Transcript

Three presidential candidates made it clear, raising the minimum wage is not an option. I hate to say it, but we have to leave it the way it is. People have to go out, they have to work really hard. And they have to get into that upper stratum. Every time we raise the minimum wage The number of jobless people increases. If you raise the minimum wage you're gonna make people more expensive than a machine. It's a start contrast. The Fight for 15 protest that happened just hours earlier. Workers at McDonald's store around the country walked out demanding the minimum wage be raised to $ 15. 00. Their protests are nothing new and have actually led to change in Los Angeles And New York.

By 2020, LA will have phased in a $ 15 minimum wage. And New York governor Andrew Kuomo says state workers will be paid that amount over the next six years. And while the candidates got some big applause in the debate Raising the minimum wage to at least ten dollars is popular. A poll by the Pew Research center last year found 73 % surveyed supported that increase. But not every GOP candidate is against a raise. Senator Rick Santorum does support an increase, of 50 cents.
