$2 Wage To Get House Approval
A $2 minimum wage was set to pass the House with debate over extending coverage to 5.8 million workers. Supporters backed a Education and Labor bill covering 3 million state and local workers 1.7 million federal workers and 1.1 million domestic workers. Opponents sought to cap coverage at 45.5 million and push a separate teen wage scale. Some Republicans urged a slower path to $2 citing wage price controls concerns.
