Economic Justice in the United States

A Just Minimum Wage: Good for Workers, Business and Our Future


The report, written by Holly Sklar and the Rev. Dr. Paul H. Sherry and commissioned by AFSC and the National Council of Churches, makes a powerful case for raising the minimum wage.

You can also download fliers, order bulk copies of the report to distribute to your friends and contacts, or contact the authors about speaking engagements at Let Justice Roll.

The report emphasizes that "A job should keep you out of poverty, not keep you in it...  Raising the minimum wage is a moral imperative for the very soul of our nation."

The report counters arguments against raising the minimum wage and shows how raising it will move the United States from a low-road to a high-road economy.
