@sanders.senate.gov & @bobbyscott.house.gov just reintroduced the Raise the Wage Act to ⬆️ the federal min wage to $17/hr by 2030 This increase would impact 15% of the US workforce—over 22 million people—and the average affected worker would make an additional $3,200/yr www.epi.org/publication/...

Infographic titled "Raise the Wage Act: Raising the federal minimum wage to $17/hr by 2030"

15% of the U.S. workforce would get a raise

That's 22,247,000 workers!

$17/hr would mean the average worker would make $3,200 more

That is wonderful but not going to pass. Nice thoughts though.

The Raise the Wage Act would also gradually raise and then eliminate lower minimum wages for tipped workers, workers with disabilities, & youth workers. This means ALL workers covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act would have the same minimum wage.
