Workers are pushing for $20 minimum wage as inflation persists

Avatar photo by The Associated Press March 28, 2023March 28, 2023

Inflation has meant that something that cost $15 in 2012 would probably cost almost $20 today, according to federal statistics.

That increase in the minimum wage from $12.75 accounts partly for the rising cost to live over the past year.
