"Gov. Philip D. Murphy of New Jersey and legislative leaders agreed on Thursday to a deal that would raise the minimum wage to $15, making New Jersey the fourth state in the country to commit to significantly raising incomes to that level and reflecting a growing national movement to address economic inequality."

In New Jersey it's a no brainer. In other states...not so much. I'd be hard pressed to say that parts of Florida or Maine need $15 as a living wage, but places like NJ, where every single county is technically Metropolitan, including the farming ones, it's a good change.
