Raises for teachers, paramedics, firefighters, police and nurses

Separate minimum wage requirements for our first responders, teachers and nurses. These people sacrifice their selves for the betterment of society and some are paid such low rates, they are forced to work multiple jobs in order to make ends meet. They deserve to have a livable wage. For example, the lowest police officer wage in Mississippi is 43k a year, nurses start at $26 an hour, There are some firefighters making $26k, and paramedics making $14 an hour in the US. These people risk their lives save others.

Set a federal standard for each category and revisit every two years to make sure these individuals are able to better provide for their families
