 The federal minimum wage today is only $7.25 an hour. It hasn't been raised in over 10 years. In that time, its value has gone down 18% if you adjust for inflation. The minimum wage for tipped workers is even lower, $2.13 an hour. And that hasn't been raised in 30 years. How do we fix this? 1. Raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. That will increase pay for 60% of workers living in poverty. 2. Abolish the tipped minimum wage. Service workers deserve to be paid a real wage. 3. Automatically increase the minimum wage with inflation. So this never happens again.
