Poll question: Another look at the minimum wage
The House has passed a bill to raise the national minimum wage to $15 per hour. It probably won’t pass, as the Senate is solidly opposed to such a measure.
In some places, local jurisdictions have boosted the minimum wage beyond the federal requirement. For instance, at the airport in Houston, a minimum wage of $12 per hour will take off in 2021. And in Oakland, some hotel workers will receive a $20 rate.
In the meantime, the national minimum wage has been $7.25 since 2009.
