Just out of curiousity doesn't $15/hr push a full time minimum wage worker up into the next higher tax bracket? If it does then the only one benefitting from the wage increase is the government. As for the improve your qualifications crowd its not easy to do, I know because I completed my power engineer 4th class while working full time, started while in the Army and finished while driving gravel truck. Still not working as as one but it got me a good job working as a plant operator in a non power engineer position.
