Higher Wages facts
While investigating facts about Higher Wages, I found out little known, but curios details like:
There's an organization of 200 plus millionaires that formed a political group that actively pushes for political equality regardless of wealth, higher wages for workers and tries to get the wealthy to pay their fair share of taxes.
Silent movie actors were initially not given on-screen credit for their films, as studio bosses feared it would make the performers too popular, and able to demand higher wages. Actress Florence Lorence was the first to get one in 1910
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 11 of the best facts about Higher Wages I managed to collect.
