U.S. states are considering raising the minimum wage to $20. A handful of states considered raising their minimum wage to $15 per hour but the gains were nearly erased due to inflation.
resident Anthony Rivera, 20, who sorts packages at a United Parcel Service facility in Brooklyn, said he had to take a second job at a grocery store after his food costs soared.
Inflation has meant that something that cost $15 in 2012 — when labor activists adopted the"Fight for $15" slogan in a push for wage hikes — would probably cost almost $20 today, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The federal minimum wage in the United States has stayed at $7.25 per hour since 2009, but states and some localities are free to set higher amounts. Thirty states have chosen to do so.
Labor activists are pressing for a new round of wage increases even as the old ones are still being phased in.
