  + stars: | 2024-11-09 | by ( Juliana Kaplan | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Minimum wage hikes passed in two red states, and one voted against pay cuts for tipped workers. Economic concerns, like inflation, might drive voters to support pay increases despite party lines. It's happened before: In 2020, Florida voters wholeheartedly embraced Trump — and voted to hike the minimum wage to $15 by 2026. AdvertisementGeorgetown University Professor Jason Brennan told BI that it isn't strange many Americans who vote Republican also vote for a higher minimum wage. Did you vote for Trump and a higher minimum wage?

The federal minimum wage, which has been stuck at $7.25 an hour for 15 years. Given the situation, here's an idea: Why not raise the federal minimum wage right now? Getting anything done legislatively is always a challenge, especially in an election year, but polls indicate a higher minimum wage is broadly popular. AdvertisementOnce the minimum wage gets so high that it starts to cause a bunch of job loss, that's a problem. If a higher minimum wage lifts millions of people out of poverty, that's incredible.

Efforts to raise federal minimum pay have fallen flatHowever, despite numerous efforts, raising the federal minimum wage above $7.25 an hour has been unsuccessful. Lagging the rising cost of livingIn many ways, the federal minimum wage seems like a relic of the past. Recent wage gains could be lostThe actual economic impact of a federal minimum wage increase is heavily debated. “The new conventional wisdom is that at least a moderate minimum wage increase has minimal effects on employment,” Reich told CNN. “But this new paper says that a really big minimum wage increase actually increases employment.”

Georgia and Wyoming have state minimum wages below the federal minimum wage. If the federal minimum wage was higher than the state's minimum wage, we noted the federal amount as the last minimum wage paid to employees in the state. The following map shows what year the minimum wage increased and the current minimum wage in every state:Over half the states have minimum wages above the federal minimum wage of $7.25. California, which has been raising its minimum wage annually over the past few years, saw its minimum wage increase to $15.50 on January 1, 2023. The effects of a minimum wage increaseSome economists and critics of a minimum wage increase argue that a raise would negatively impact employment, but that may not be the case.
☆ A 10-year fight to raise the minimum wage has slashed the Black-White wealth gap in half in some states. The South still has a long way to go.

The federal minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 for 13 years, despite attempts to raise it. The National Employment Law Project analyzed the impact of local hikes to the minimum wage since 2012. That year marked the first action by Fight for 15, a worker movement calling for a $15 minimum wage. But those disparities among workers in states with a higher minimum wage versus those in states still adhering to the federal minimum wage means that workers in the South are left behind, according to Lathrop. In Washington, DC the minimum wage is $16.10 an hour, but five states — Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Tennessee — have no minimum wage, defaulting to the federal minimum.
