Wage Hour Compromise Sets 40 Cents in Seven Years
A joint congressional committee approved a wage hour compromise proposing a universal 40 cent per hour minimum in interstate industries after seven years, with a 25 cent minimum in the first year and gradual increases via industry boards. The plan hinges on boards to raise wages toward 40 cents while weighing unemployment risks. Some senators warn of constitutional challenges and practical enforcement concerns. The broader farm and deficit bills face separate timing and votes.
