Great. That's a livable wage!
It appears that here in Oregon, the only people who benefit are those employed by the training service providers.
My point is, Oregon is basically a conservative state. We have *Shall issue CCW* laws, and one can own a machine gun if they follow federal rules, the state don't care. We passed initiatives to ban gay marriage and restore ownership rights to property owners.
But sadly, Democrats have most state and federal elective positions and run the state (into the ground).
I lay this at the high unemployment we suffer from. Finally, as a high wage nation, we will give up the jobs to the low wage nations when ever possible. Economics 101. So while a few benefit, having Democrats in power will hurt us all.

i think yuoll find that over the past 50 years the wage gap between the US and the rest of the world has narrowed not gotten larger.
Also low wages alone do not explain movement of jobs, if they did Africa would have all the jobs
