No. Raising the minimum wage will hurt businesses that can’t afford $1.40 an hour more in pay. This only increases Connecticut’s reputation as business-unfriendly. 17% (98 votes)
Yes. It’s inhumane to expect people to live on so little money. This raise should be just the start toward a living wage. 36% (206 votes)
No. The minimum wage here was already fourth highest in the nation. No wonder Connecticut’s jobless rate is higher than the nation’s. 21% (120 votes)
