.@VP leading the Administration blitz today trumpeting doubling of employee pay threshold for overtime pay from $23,660/yr to $47,476/yr.

In WH letter, @VP says too many employees work 10, 20, 30 extra hours a week and "often don’t get paid a dime more…That’s simply wrong."

They’re from the Obama administration and they’re here to help you!
Excuse me but that's the definition of being a "salaried" employee. This admin. continues to pound the middle class.
