The Biden Administration will push to implement a federal minimum wage of 15 dollars an hour, up from the current federal minimum of 7.25 an hour. Louisiana is one of five states to not raise its minimum above the federal. Louisiana Budget Project head Jan Moller, who a legislative advocate for working-class families, said the minimum hasn’t increased in 12 years and we’re past due for 15 dollars an hour. “15 dollars an hour represents about 31,000 dollars a year for someone working full time, which is what it takes to put a roof over your head, food in your stomach, gas in your car, and maybe have a little bit leftover,” said Moller.
