Minimum Wage in America - Current Battle for an Increase
In 2012, the Democratic House
of Representatives Rep. from California, George Miller, proposed an increase in
the federal minimum wage to $9.80, with 100 of the other Democratic Reps in the
House supporting him (Raise the Minimum Wage). The Fair Minimum Wage Act of
2012 proposed an increase of $0.85 cents of the federal minimum wage in the
span of 2 years until the minimum wage reaches $9.80 in 2014. The bill has been
referred to another committee, and currently, the Fair Minimum Wage Act of
2013, proposed by the same group of people, is trying to pass its way through
Congress.
