	National Average Wage Index
		To determine the national average wage index for calendar year 2005, we increased the 2004 national average wage index of 35,648.55 by the percentage increase in average wages from 2004 to 2005, as measured by annual wage data tabulated by the Social Security Administration (SSA).
		The average amounts of wages calculated directly from the SSA data were $34,197.63 and $35,448.93 for 2004 and 2005, respectively.
		To determine the national average wage index for 2005 at a level that is consistent with the national average wage indexing series for prior years, we multiply the 2004 national average wage index of 35,648.55 by the percentage increase in average wages from 2004 to 2005 (based on SSA-tabulated wage data).

	Sense and Nonsense on the Minimum Wage
		On April 1, 1990 the federal minimum wage was increased from $3.35 per hour to $3.80; a year later it was increased to $4.25, for a combined increase in excess of 25 percent.
		The relative increase in wages of low-wage labor, together with the concentration at the applicable minimums, implies that there is substantial compliance with the wage laws and—what amounts to the same thing—a substantial increase in the cost of employing those who would otherwise earn less than the minimum.
		Each of the studies is aimed at measuring the effect of a different hike in minimum wages: the 1988 increase in California’s state minimum to $4.25, the 1990 and 1991 increases in the federal minimum, and the 1992 increase in New Jersey’s state minimum to $5.05.

	ABC 7 News - Pelosi Wants Increase in Minimum Wage Passed Quickly (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The new Democrat-controlled 110th Congress convenes on Jan. 4 and Pelosi of California has made clear that raising the federal minimum wage is a top priority she wants the House to accomplish in its first 100 hours of legislative business.
		The legislation is likely to call for phased-in increase in the current federal minimum wage of $5.15 an hour to $7.25 an hour along the lines of a proposal written by Rep. George Miller, DCalif., the incoming chairman of the House Education and the Workforce Committee.
		In the Senate, business lobbyists believe a bill to boost the minimum wage is more likely to be advanced through committee, giving them an opportunity to try and sweeten the pot with other things such as faster depreciation, for instance, of restaurant buildings, something the restaurant industry would like.

	Minimum Wage, Maximum Gall
		In dealing with the major issues of our time (global warming, immigration, the diminishing benefits and stagnant wages that characterize today's economy) or in discharging its oversight duties over administration policies that have failed (the war in Iraq) or were stillborn (the rescue of New Orleans), the Republican-controlled Congress has been nowhere to be found.
		Appended to the minimum wage hike that the vast majority of them opposed was a provision genuinely dear to their hearts: a cut in the estate tax that chiefly benefits the super-rich and that will reduce government revenue over the next decade, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, by $753 billion.
		Which may be why the Republicans' midnight orations in favor of raising the wage bore minimal resemblance to, say, the Sermon on the Mount.
