"I congratulate the Los Angeles City Council for voting to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour. The momentum is growing all across our country as state after state and city after city raise their minimum wage to help millions of hard-working Americans earn the income they deserve. States and communities are not waiting for Congress to act because working people cannot survive on the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. If people work 40 hours a week, they deserve not to live in dire poverty."
