Seventeen Years Without an Increase in the Federal Minimum Wage (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We are currently in the longest period of inaction on the federal minimum wage since its inception in 1938. It was 17 years ago this month that it was increased to $7.25 — which leaves today’s wage floor at its lowest (inflation-adjusted) value in seven decades, and its purchasing power much less than its 1968 peak. In fact, today the federal wage floor is officially a poverty wage. Given that 30 states and D.C. have wage floors higher than the federal rate, does the federal minimum wage matter
