Issue Position: Good Jobs: Supporting Working Families

Jamie believes every Minnesotan should have access to a good job. When Jamie talks about good jobs, she means livable wages, meaningful benefits and the ability to retire. Working 60 hours a week at two jobs for low pay is not the solution.

Jamie supports:

Paid family leave for all workers -- giving individuals the ability to take care of a new baby, a sick child, or an aging parent without fear of losing their jobs.
Increasing the minimum wage to $15 per hour.
Ensuring all Minnesotans are safe from workplace harassment and discrimination.
Protecting workers' ability to unionize for better pay, benefits and their own safety at work.
Making it easier for all workers to save for retirement. Jamie is the chief author of the Secure Choice Retirement Plan, an AARP priority that streamlines pre-tax retirement contributions straight from your paycheck.
