*- Obama to tout middle-class economy at plant -*
WASHINGTON - America must restore a "thriving middle class," President Barack Obama said in his State of the Union speech before visiting an auto parts maker Wednesday.

"We gather here knowing that there are millions of Americans whose hard work and dedication have not yet been rewarded," Obama said in an hourlong nationally televised address before a joint session of Congress.

"Our economy is adding jobs, but too many people still can't find full-time employment. Corporate profits have rocketed to all-time highs, but for more than a decade, wages and incomes have barely budged.'

"It is our generation's task, then, to reignite the true engine of America's economic growth -- a rising, thriving middle class,'' Obama said.

He pledged to fight for a higher minimum wage -- $9 an hour from $7.25 an hour by the end of 2015.

"This single step would raise the incomes of millions of working families," he said. "It could mean the difference between groceries or the food bank, rent or eviction, scraping by or finally getting ahead."
