With the changing technology, the labor market and the issue of workers' rights are becoming more prevalent. The states need to step in to fix the labor issues and by drafting the right policies.
Retail company Target has increased its minimum wage for employees to $10 an hour in an attempt to retain talent and attract competitive new employees.
Governor Jerry Brown of California and Andrew Cuomo of New York already signed the bill that would increase the minimum wage of workers to $15 per hour. Both states will be considered the very first large states to enact such law.
New York is set to join California on the path to a $15 minimum wage under an agreement headed to a vote in the state Legislature that would boost the wages of more than 2 million workers.
