The proposal would gradually phase in the increase, starting by raising minimum wage from $7.25 to $9.50 an hour in 2021, to $11 an hour in 2022, $12.50 in 2023, $14 an hour in 2024, and then finally $15 an hour in 2025.
Rep. Jayapal likened the situation to 2014, when she served on “the committee that made Seattle the first major city in our country to enact $15 minimum wage.”
