Senate Faces Change In Minimum Wage After House OK
Washington reports the House approved a new minimum wage bill and sent it to the Senate. It would raise the 40 cent hourly rate seen since 1945 to 75 cents, while the Senate version would lift to 60 or 75 cents in a more limited reform. Both chambers would need to agree on a single bill, or risk lengthy court challenges and further alterations.
