- this is the longest America has ever gone without raising the minimum wage,
- more than half of U.S. states have a higher minimum wage than the federal benchmark, and
- the total number of states with $15 minimum wage laws has doubled this year
…it’s hard to imagine the Dems not taking this one. Even if the bill doesn’t pass now, we can expect to continue hearing about a national $15 minimum wage throughout the 2020 election cycle.
