[Job Growth\Federal Minimum Wage]
Rep. Bobby Scott: “Job growth in the first three years under President Trump continues to lag behind job growth in the final three years under President Obama…After more than a decade without an increase in the federal minimum wage, there is now no place in America where a full-time worker making the federal minimum wage can afford the basic essentials.”

[Economy\Middle-Class Taxes]
Rep. Underwood: “Before the Republican tax law took effect, taxpayers in our community were able to deduct all of their state and local taxes before calculating their federal tax bill—the average amount is over $14,000 and well over $20,000 for some in our community. Now they’re limited to just $10,000—a loss of thousands for middle class families.”
