A new U.S. bill is proposing to raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $25/hour over time — potentially by 2031 for large employers.
Supporters say it finally matches the real cost of living. Critics say it could mean higher prices, layoffs, or both.
Meanwhile… the federal minimum wage hasn’t changed since 2009.
So I’m curious — Would this actually help workers long-term… or just shift the problem somewhere else?
