A better way to raise the minimum wage Rick Newman Democrats are having a big fight among themselves about how to raise the federal minimum wage, which has been stuck at $7.25 per hour since 2009. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) and some other liberals want it raised to $15 per hour, but conservative Democrats like Sen. Joe Manchin (D., W.V.) say that’s too high for rural areas and smaller cities. They might raise it to $11, which the Sanders camp considers dismissively low. Why not have it both ways? A 2019 Democratic proposal would establish five minimum-wage tiers for different areas of the country, based on regional living costs. Within five years, the minimum wage in the costliest cities would rise to around $15, which is Sanders’ goal. In medium-cost areas, it would rise to about $13, while in the lowest-cost places the minimum would hit $11.50.
