District of Columbia Sets New Minimum Wage for Women
The District of Columbia minimum wage board rules that a self supporting woman's lowest livable weekly wage is 15.50 dollars, higher than any prior U.S. figure. The standard applies to printing and allied trades, with 60 days before enforcement, likely in August. A itemized budget explains the 15.50 total covering room, clothing, meals, sickness care, amusements, savings, charity, and other essentials. Records show 76 percent of women in the DC printing trades earn under 15 per week and 47 percent under 11 per week.
