Students can write an essay about their process of searching for the artwork and describe the piece they selected. They can write an essay comparing and contrasting the two works of art and submit it either for extra credit or in place of the essay that the rest of the class is writing.
The 2017 Washington Minimum Wage Is $11.00. Washington's minimum wage applies to workers in both agriculture and non-agricultural jobs, although 14- and 15-year-olds may be paid 85% of the minimum wage ($9.35). Initiative 1433 changes the state minimum wage and will require employers to provide employees with paid sick leave.
And yet their voters have soundly rejected the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour as insufficient for workers. As it turns out, most other states have now done the same. The federal minimum wage set by Congress prevails in any state that doesn't mandate a higher one. Until this year, a majority of states had declined either through legislation or the ballot box to set a minimum wage above $7.25. But after Tuesday's referendums, and after legislation recently passed in Maryland, Hawaii and West Virginia, 29 states and the District of Columbia will soon have minimum wages higher than the federal level.
