Interestingly enough, Obama included in his State of the Union Address that he is going to raise the minimum wage to $10.10

That's a specific case, at the moment. He's using his executive powers to raise the minimum wage for new government contractors to $10.10 per hour. This won't effect existing contracts, and is only a small subset. At the current time it's up to mayors and governors to raise the minimum wage on a local and regional level.

Thank you for that. I'm only half paying attention, and I heard something about raising minimum wage. I did a quick online search for an article and that popped up. Thanks again for clearing that up for me.
