Congressman French Hill (AR-2) released the following statement after Wal-Mart announced it would be raising pay for 500,000 employees:

“Today's announcement is evidence that when businesses are able to grow and succeed, they will have the opportunity to invest in their employees.  Congress must continue to allow businesses and their employees to thrive from the ground-up, and not cripple them with top-down mandates. I am proud that an Arkansas-based company is leading on this critical issue.” –Rep. French Hill
