Finally, it only took news reports of the abuse workers take and the insane money Bezos makes to make this happen.
I only wonder why the workers took such abuse... was it really better work than anything else around? Is the local economy around those places so bad that these jobs were highly desirable, or did the workers just not understand there were better things?
With a minimum-wage increase comes a higher amount of spending by these workers since the lower the income the higher percentage of spending happens, so that's more money going into the economy and spurning growth and hopefully more competition, school/health/retirement spending, and job opportunities.

A low wage and abuse on the job aren't the same thing. Hopefully they're addressing the abuse claims, but this is more or less irrelevant to those and the coverage they received.
