Wage Hour Bill Urged To Halt Deflation Trend
The House Labor Committee recommended enacting a revised wage hour bill to prevent a vicious spiral of deflation. It would establish a graduated minimum wage from 2 cents to 40 cents an hour over three years, reduce hours from 44 to 40 weekly in two years, and abolish child labor. The plan aims to set a floor and push states to adopt similar standards, with a $16 weekly minimum at the end of three years.
