Majority of Georgia Voters Back Raising Minimum Wage
Monday, November 10th, 2014
Georgia Republicans are hostile to raising the minimum wage, but a majority of voters favor increasing it.
An exit poll conducted Tuesday by The Associated Press suggest a significant slice of the electorate takes a more moderate stance on labor issues than the Republicans who set economic policy in Georgia. Federal law requires most employers in the state pay at least $7.25 per hour. A smaller number of firms only have to pay Georgia’s minimum wage of $5.15.
