联邦最低工资将上涨39% 20年前,最低生活工资(Living Wage)运动在巴尔的摩爆发,许多拥有全职工作的居民纷纷涌入当地的无家可归者收容所。2014年,这场运动再起波澜,公众开始强烈呼吁政府大幅提升最低工资标准。一些州已经开始采取行动(见即将出现的分布图)。联邦最低时薪工资从目前7.25美元提高至10.10美元的概率为:48%。 |
The federal minimum wage will rise 39% Two decades after the Living Wage movement began in Baltimore (when local homeless shelters began filling with residents who had full-time jobs), popular support for a hefty increase in the minimum wage resurges. States are already taking action (see upcoming map). Odds that the federal minimum wage is increased to $10.10/hour, from the current $7.25: 48%. |
