This month we also celebrate the 10th anniversary of the introduction of the minimum wage. See http://www.labour.org.uk/minimumwage It's made a difference and the web-page shows how.
2.3 million jobs created in the last 10 years, rather than 2 million lost as the Tories predicted (and don't forget how Lib Dems often find a reason not to vote for each annual increase in the minimum wage).
An estimated 90,000 workers in the East Midlands benefited from the October 2007 increase in the minimum wage, 4.3% of workers.
