Minimum Wages for Women Face Partial Recovery
A Washington report by the women’s bureau notes minimum wages are not yet lifting industry to a level that ensures permanent relief. While some progress appears in reducing long hours and raising pay in textiles, hotels, restaurants, and clothing shops, only about half of the 14 million working women are covered by codes. Smaller towns and certain groups remain unpaid or underpaid, with many women still earning under $5 a week in the past.
