Minimum Wage Hike Faces House Vote amid Coverage Split
The House moves toward a $2.00 minimum wage with one bill expanding coverage to 5.8 million workers including state local and federal staff and domestic workers. The rival plan would keep 4.5 million covered and create a separate teen rate. A third option seeks a $1.80 immediate raise followed by $2.00 next year. Farm workers earn new staged rates under both bills. New York consumers have raised electricity use by 60 percent over a decade.
