National Survey of
1,000 Adults
Conducted July 29-30, 2013
By Rasmussen Reports
1* How closely have you followed recent news reports about the
minimum wage?
2* Is the minimum wage a wage someone can
live on?
3* Do you favor or oppose raising the minimum wage from the
current level of $7.25 an hour to $10.10 an hour by 2015?
4* Should the hourly minimum wage be tied to inflation, so
when the cost of living goes up, the minimum wage automatically goes up, too?
5* Will tying the minimum wage to inflation help or hurt the
economy, or will it have no impact?
6* How often do you eat at a fast-food restaurant - rarely or
never, at least once a week, two or three times a month, every now and then?
7* Would you be willing to pay more
for fast food if it meant higher wages for those who work in these restaurants?
8* What do you think is the average age
range of employees in fast-food restaurants?
9* Because of the struggling economy, many minimum-wage jobs
are now being filled by older Americans. Should the minimum wage be different
for those in different age groups?
