Federal contractors will be required to start paying workers $15 per hour by March 2022, per President Biden’s recent executive order. Many businesses that receive federal contract work already pay more than $15 an hour. The people most likely to be affected by this are those who do service in federal buildings (cooking, cleaning), call center staff, etc.
Chipotle has also announced an increase in wages to average around $15 per hour (with starting pay between $11 and $18) by the end of June.
