Did anybody actually witness any of these protests? This seems to be a movement that just can't get much momentum. Personally, I think the MW should go up some, but I just don't know how much, nor am I sure what the real economic impact will be. Nonetheless, I expect it will go up whether the Federal govt does it or not -- more than 120 cities across the U.S. have already raised their minimums, some three dozen states have considered proposals to raise the minimum wage and six states and the District of Columbia have voted for hikes, including Connecticut ($10.10 by 2017), Delaware ($8.25 by 2015), Maryland ($10.10 by 2018), Minnesota ($9.50 by 2016), West Virginia ($8.50 by 2016) and just last week, Hawaii, which will phase in a $10.10 wage over three-and-a-half years. DC will raise its minimum to $11.50 by 2016.
