What has happened to our workforce? Over 11.4 million Americans have left the workforce since President Barack Obama took office in 2009. They are not counted in the unemployment figures because they are no longer looking for a job. People are truly hurting and are unable to find any work.

Rep. Shannon Savick’s solution is to increase the minimum wage so we end up with less jobs and more unemployment. It’s time to quit hiding behind the unemployment figures and create real full-time jobs. People are suffering and don’t appreciate you telling them how great it is.
