# 2014-10-11 President Obama's Weekly Address

President Barack Obama's Weekly Address "America Is a Place Where Hard Work Should Be Rewarded" from October 11, 2014. Original description of the speech: "In this week's address, the President made the case for why it's past time to raise the minimum wage. Increasing the national minimum wage to $10.10 an hour would benefit 28 million Americans, and make our economy stronger. While Republicans in Congress have blocked this commonsense proposal, a large and growing coalition of state and local leaders and owners of businesses large and small have answered the President's call and raised wages for their residents and employees."
