[Vision2020] Just What is it that Attracts Job Hunters to Pullman?

[Donovan Arnold]

I think just as many, or even more businesses, are attracted to Moscow  then most towns its size and region. Moscow is a wonderful place to  live, raise a family, and have retire. However, our local governments  keep businesses and jobs away. If Moscow leadership would not block the  jobs, we would have plenty, no searching necessary.

Washington's minimum wage will increase 30 cents to $7.93 an hour beginning
Jan. 1. 

The state Department of Labor and Industries recalculates the state's
minimum wage each year. In 1998, Washington voters approved an initiative
that pegged the state's minimum wage to the cost of living. 

Currently, Washington has the highest minimum wage in the nation, at $7.63
an hour. Idaho's minimum wage matches the federal rate, at $5.15 an hour.
