Minimum Wage Increase Goes Into Effect Today
About 2.6 million workers will see pay raises up to 10 cents an hour as the federal minimum wage rises from 1.15 to 1.25. The 44 hour workweek rule also starts for large retail and service workers, with time and a half after 44 hours and a new 1.00 per hour minimum for that group. Labor Secretary Wirtz recalls the act’s 25 cent starting point and notes gains have raised living standards. Calls for higher pay and broader coverage persist, but congressional action seems unlikely this session.
