What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

U.S. Senator Ruben Gallego introduced a 32-page plan to raise the federal minimum wage, starting gradually in 2027 and reaching $20 an hour by 2030, from the current rate of $7.25 under the Fair Labor Standards Act. This proposal contrasts with policies set by California Governor Gavin Newsom, whose administration passed a $20 fast food minimum wage for the state. The minimum wage in the city of Los Angeles rose to $18.42 an hour on July 1.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Gallego argues the increase is necessary to meet the growing cost of living. However, a conservative nonprofit research organization estimated that the proposed federal wage hike could result in 2.3 million job losses nationally. The same organization noted that California Governor Gavin Newsom’s $20 fast food minimum wage previously cost the state thousands of jobs.
