[–] iknowitwheniseeit@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) The federal wage for tipped workers in the USA has not changed since 1991. It remains at $2.13 per hour. Most states have a higher minimum, but 15 states use the federal value: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/state/minimum-wage/tipped The population of those states is about 107 million people, so this is for about a third of the overall US population. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SkippingRelax@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Got it, it sucks. Really 35 million people need to fight to abolish tips, and get this mess fixed including having minimum wage indexed to inflation or at least reviewed periodically and adjusted. We all love to bash the capitalist here and blame the employer, but really tha change needs to be demanded by the people affected, the workers, or it will never happen. permalink fedilink source parent
