Big headlines: Mayor Rahm Emanuel issued an executive order raising the minimum wage to $13 an hour. Behind the big headlines was this much bigger fact: only 1,000 workers will benefit, while there are 400,000 workers in Chicago getting under $13.
In other words, it’s only a stunt by Emanuel who thinks it will earn some credit before his run for re-election in February.
You know what, Rahm? We can’t eat headlines! And our kids can’t get an education on them!
