Yeah, so I make $8 an hour plus tips. But the tip, minimum wage in Wisconsin is 233 an hour. Great. I have you down then for three at 06:00 p.m. Hourly wage work that's important to me when I get to Congress is to increase the federal minimum wage to at least $15 an hour. Because I'm a server and bartender at my job, I think we get 433 an hour instead of two. Sarah Glassow works five jobs in Eau Claire to make ends meet. (09:04–09:12)
