Jen Kiggans Said Virginia’s Increase In Minimum Wage Made It Harder For High School Students, Like Her Son, To Find Summer Jobs

Kiggans Said Increases In Minimum Wage Made It Harder For Her Son And Other High School Students To Get Summer Jobs. “Virginia Democrats are charging ahead to give Virginia the nation’s highest minimum wage […] I’m sad because my son’s summer landscaping and yardwork job at our church has gone away already as I know the church cannot afford to pay these high school students minimum wage any longer. As a parent, I know that it will be harder for high school students to find summer jobs. How will we keep them all busy, out of trouble, and away from too many video games?!” [Jen for VA Senate via Wayback Machine, Facts From The Floor, 3/5/20]
