It's Time to Talk Numbers
I just read some very interesting history about minimum wage. I wish to share this excerpt before I begin editorializing: The federal minimum wage in the United States has been $7.25 per hour since July 2009, the last time Congress raised it.[45] Some types of labor are exempt: Employers may pay tipped labor a minimum of $2.13 per hour, as long as the hour wage plus tip income equals at least the minimum wage. Persons under the age of 20 may be paid $4.25 an hour for the first 90 calendar days of employment (sometimes known as a youth, teen, or training wage) unless a higher state minimum exists.[46] The 2009 increase was the last of three steps of the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2007, which increased the wage from $5.15 per hour in 2007 to $7.25 per hour in 2009.
