President Bloomingdale, speaking Monday morning on WITF’s Radio Smart Talk told listeners that “Now is the time to raise Pennsylvania’s minimum wage – to provide dignity for all workers, and to put more money back into our economy which will boost demand and create more jobs.”

“It’s simple economics,” Bloomingdale said. “Every additional dollar earned by minimum wage earners goes right back into our economy boosting purchases, increasing demand and creating jobs. I don’t know how anyone can be opposed to raising the minimum wage,” Bloomingdale told Smart Talk listeners.

Many of the people calling in, even several small business owners, agreed. The broadcast can be heard on the station’s website, follow a direct link to Monday’s Smart Talk show by
