Mitch McConnell , the majority leader, said Thursday he will not be taking up the legislation in the Senate. And Thursday's House vote was far from bipartisan, with only three Republicans voting to pass it. Many Republicans cited concerns that a $15 federal minimum wage may cause significant job loss. A
released last week found that a mandatory $15 minimum wage may eliminate as many as 3.7 million jobs across the U.S. because companies will look to cut costs.at $7.25. In recent years, some cities and states have taken steps to increase local minimum wage statutes, but there are still 21 states where the minimum wage remains frozen at $7.25.
MakeIt 3.7 million lost their jobs. Thanks. Socialism at work.
MakeIt Prices rise and low wage workers get laid off. That's what happens next.
MakeIt Increasing the federal minimum wage is a sinister way of encouraging more illegal immigration.

MakeIt The House voted to force business owners to pay a small percentage of their workers more than they are worth.
MakeIt People in rural areas about to lose their jobs because living in the city is expensive.
