By LAMS Students

Students at Los Alamos Middle School (LAMS) are working on a project to gather support to raise the minimum wage in Los Alamos County.

The students have created a Google Form for online viewers to fill out, or physical viewers can email mrluen@gmail.com for a form to be sent to them, or for answers to any questions about sources, clarification or any other topic.

Below is a quick list of the student’s reasoning:

• The living wage in our county is much higher than the minimum wage;
• Helps lift people out of poverty;
• Increases consumer spending;
• Increases employee satisfaction + productivity;
• Combats inflation.
