House votes to raise minimum wage to $2 next year
The House approved a bill by 330 to 78 to raise the minimum wage to $2 next year rather than immediately. The measure, likely to face Senate action, keeps a $1.60 base for youths and students while expanding coverage for about 34.3 million workers. Two Republican amendments narrowed the scope and targeted youth differentiation, with one delaying the full rise to next year and another excluding state and local workers and household domestics from the expansion.
