Our concern is for households in the bottom 30% with incomes that are less than $35,000. We are creating more middle-class jobs for those who are currently working in minimum wage jobs.

I encourage low wage industries like fast food and retail to return to hiring students, so they can learn how to work and consider what occupations they wish to pursue in order to become self-supporting.
