There is a big difference between $10 and $15, $15 closes in on some entry level college degree requiring jobs $10 does not.. I think many would agree it needs to be caught up and 10$/hr would be a good start then adjust with inflation regularly.

Working our way up would be ok, but increasing it $2.50 in one year wouldn't. It would still force companies to increase the pay of everyone else. If it's only ~.50c increase incrementally then it wouldn't effect other jobs as much if any.
