Raising the minimum wage would boost full-time workers' wages to just past the poverty level, but that doesn't automatically mean they'll be able to "make ends meet," as the president insinuated in his State of the Union address, a Washington Post "Fact Checker" report claims. President Barack Obama is urging Congress to raise the minimum wage nationally from $7.25 an hour to $10.10 per hour, and during his address last month challenged Congress to try to live on the $15,000 or less a year minimum wage earners make.
