Coming Nationwide: Minimum Wage Dropping in Colorado

DENVER -- Colorado's minimum wage will drop 3 cents in the new year, marking the first decrease in any state's minimum wage since the federal minimum was adopted in 1938.

Colorado's wage is dropping from $7.28 an hour to the federal minimum of $7.25. That's because Colorado is one of 10 states that tie the minimum wage to inflation. The goal is to protect low-wage workers from having flat wages as the cost of living goes up.
But Colorado's provision also allows wage declines. That means the minimum wage is going down because the state's consumer price index fell 0.6 percent last year.

  1. Now we are down to slave labor as the peasants were in earlier, European times & working for the prince. It's time Americans, unite & stand up.

    Finally, someone just wrote a great book on a small town in America that stood up to federal tyranny & ended up starting the 2nd American Revolution w/the support & uniting of the rest of the country.

    It's a must read if think history is now calling on you (and me) to find our destiny & make our legacy for the future of America. I have been recommending it to everyone & see what's coming in 2010.

    Remember, it's We the People....not you the govt.
