Raise the minimum wage!
Now that Democrats have won a huge majority in Congress, it’s time to start delivering for the American people — and the first place to start is to raise the minimum wage, which has not been changed in 16 years. SIXTEEN YEARS!
The federal minimum wage is somehow still just $7.25 an hour. This is literally a poverty wage — the annual earnings of a single adult working full-time, year-round at $7.25 an hour falls BELOW the government's established poverty threshold of $15,650.
Nearly a MILLION Americans work in minimum-wage jobs. This needs to change, now. Democrats must raise the minimum wage to at least $15 as soon as possible and help make sure workers earn the money they need to live in dignity and comfort.
Raise the minimum wage!
