The last time the federal minimum wage increased was back in 2009, when it rose to $7.25 per hour. Activists have waged a nearly decade-long campaign for an increase to $15 per hour, and President Biden has said he wants to enact that raise into law. “There should be a national minimum wage of $15 an hour,” he said last month. Raising the minimum wage is supported by a majority of Americans, with a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll finding 52 percent.
