Several interest groups seek to put a $15 per hour minimum wage amendment on the Florida ballot in 2020. Floridians voted successfully to increase the minimum wage back in 2004. While the measure passed by over 50% in every county, there were substantial differences. What explains variance in support for the 2004 Minimum Wage Amendment among Florida counties? Hypotheses were drawn from previous literature and theory and multiple regression models find several statistically significant results. The percentage of Hispanic residents and the percentage of residents with a high school education or less had a positive relationship with support for increasing the minimum wage, while the percentage of votes for President Bush had a negative relationship. Conclusions are drawn that suggest how these results may impact the expected upcoming vote to further increase the minimum wage in Florida.

最低工資視為勞工政策，藉由政府立法方式且包含集體談判、公約，以確保勞工福利與權益。最低工資制度仍然為重大理論議題與政治辯論，許多國家都設有最低工資且設定標準繁多，有些按照年齡、任職期間、地區、行業別；例如在中國，以地區別方式來設定最低工資之標準。隨著經濟結構變化，投資環境不如以往，中國逐漸失去廉價勞動力的優勢，中國在罷工與勞工短缺情況下，可能導致社會動亂，中央政府已計劃一個新的工資改革，順應世界潮流。改革目的在縮小貧富差距，藉由提高低工資之收入，規模擴大至中產階級，遏止過高薪資分配之不平等，所以在第12個五年計劃已經訂下目標，以調整最低工資，以改革收入分配。 / Minimum wages is a labor policy, whether established by government legislation, comprised of the collective bargaining or convention, are an important feature of labor markets. The minimum wage system is the subject of substantial theoretical as well as political debate. Many countries have set minimum wage standards for various, no country can be exception in the work to establish the minimum wage system, like China, mostly in age but also in some cases by job tenure, region, industry and occupation. With the economic structural changes, the investment environment is quite complex than before and no longer cheap labor in China. China government has no choice but to revise the minimum wage system in accordance with the world trend. Under the intensified discontent such as strike or labor shortage which could lead to the social unrest, Central government has planned to initiate a new wage reform. The reform is aimed to equality and narrowing the wealth gap by raising the incomes of the low-paid, expanding the size of middle classes, wiping out illegitimate incomes and putting a curb on excessively high salaries. The 12th Five Year plan has set the target to adjust the minimum wage in order to reform of income distribution.
