Marty Walsh Misstates Massachusetts Minimum Wage In U.S. Senate Confirmation Hearing

Boston Mayor and federal Secretary of Labor nominee Marty Walsh supports raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour but when speaking about minimum wage, he incorrectly stated his state's minimum wage.
Walsh said Thursday he thought minimum wage in Boston is $12.75 an hour. It was last year. However, it is now $13.50 an hour — an increase of 75 cents an hour that took place on New Year's Day this year.
