Democrats Back Move To Increase Minimum Wage
Democrats urge raising the minimum wage from 3.35 to 4.65 by 1990, with a 1991 start for a formula linking future hikes to half of the average private nonfarm hourly wage. The plan faces swift opposition from the Reagan administration which warns of lost teen jobs amid 18 percent unemployment. The proposal, led by Senators Kennedy and Hawkins, would set staged increases through Dec 31 this year and outline annual revisions thereafter.
