Well, I don't really know who makes more, but I too was surprised he suggested $9/hr. It should have been higher - at least as an opening bid.

Remember that a rising tide lifts all boats - if the minimum is set at 9, many jobs will pay more than that. Minimum wage doesn't effect only those making the minimum.
