Protesters march in the drive-through lane outside a McDonald's restaurant in Chicago as a nationwide day of protests organized by the SEIU-backed Fight for $15 movement begins April 15, 2015.
Chicago’s minimum wage is now at $15 per hour, four years before the state is set to reach that bench mark.
Groups like Fight for $15 have been lobbying for those increases for years, and a handful of large retailers have already boosted wages to that level or higher. Some announced raises for essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic last year. Others have boosted pay more recently as they’ve struggled to attract new hires.
