▲ 48 ▼ Opinion: We last raised the US federal minimum wage 14 years ago. This is unacceptable | Rev William J Barber and Rev A Kazimir Brown (www.theguardian.com) submitted 3 years ago by Col3814444@kbin.social to c/politics@kbin.social 5 comments fedilink hide all child comments The minimum has been an unlivable $7.25 an hour under three presidents. Today’s wage is worth less than at any point since 1956
[–] AdmiralSnackbar@kbin.social 1 point 3 years ago Under federal law, you can work 2 full time jobs, 80 hours a week, and still not make $120/day ($120 = 8 hrs x $15/hr). $15/hr isn't insane, it's not even bare minimum anymore. permalink fedilink source
