According to the Economic Policy Institute, a liberal non-partisan research group, an estimated 6.6 million workers would immediately benefit if the federal minimum wage jumped to $7.25 by 2008.

Whatever. But I wonder if the "Institute" factored in the number of those jobs that are going to be lost due to soemthing other than the market dictating what a non skilled laborer is paid. Small business will not raise prices as the first option. They'll cut costs and the most expensive cost is the cost of labor. It'll be incremental as the wage is ratcheted up over the years....
