Best Answer

Lyndon Johnson lobbied for several increases in the minimum wage. Business interests tried to stop the increases and said they would damage the economy and cause unemployment, but no such results occurred. The economy was in excellent condition in 1968 despite the spending on the Vietnam War and high tax rates.
