  • While speaking at the Iowa State Fair on August 17, 2015, Carly Fiorina rejected the federal minimum wage. “First, I believe that minimum wage should be a state decision, not a federal decision. Why? Because it makes no sense to say that the minimum wage in New York City is the same as the minimum wage in Mason City, Iowa. Secondly, we have to remember that a lot of minimum-wage jobs are jobs where people start, and in those jobs they learn skills to move forward. So we need to be honest about the consequences of raising a minimum wage too high. One of the consequences is that young people who are trapped in poor neighborhoods will have less opportunities to learn skills and move forward,” Fiorina explained.[2]
  • On August 9, 2015, Fiorina said it was not the government’s place to mandate paid maternity leave. "I don't think it's the role of government to dictate to the private sector how to manage their businesses, especially when it's pretty clear that the private sector, like Netflix, like the example that you just gave, is doing the right thing because they know it helps them attract the right talent," Fiorina explained in a CNN interview.[3]
