Carson Statement on New Overtime Pay Protections

Washington, DC - I applaud President Obama's proposed rule to introduce stronger overtime protections that will expand the middle class and boost workers' wages. Too many hard working Hoosiers work long hours while still struggling to make ends meet. This change will ensure that more workers are fully paid for the hours they put in, boosting paychecks and strengthening our economy. This is a powerful step in rebuilding our middle class.
