Oklahoma senate bill proposed to increase state minimum wage

As people should know minimum wages has not been raised for 10 years. Since July 24, 2009, the federal government has mandated a nationwide minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. And noted raising minimum wage from the past was not a disaster it brings us all up. It's like going to the Jetsons not the Flintstones! Also it helps to bring people up so they can afford to get a education to get up to level for the changing job skills coming!
