Jon Ossoff on Jobs

	Jon Ossoff on Jobs

Minimum wage should be a living wage

Jon will go to work to ensure that health insurance premiums don't cripple businesses or force them to lay off employees.
Jon will defend equal pay for equal work and fight any effort to allow wage discrimination against women or minorities.
Jon believes the minimum wage should be a living wage. He will support an increase in the federal minimum wage indexed to cost of living and implemented at a pace that allows employers to adapt their business plans.
