As of April 10, 2021 the minimum wage in United States is at a shallow $7.25 and hour. This has been proven many times to be an inefficient form of income to support a family and in most cases support yourself. "At $7.25, the federal minimum wage hasn't kept up with the cost of living in more than half a century." reads an article from Investopedia. Not to mention most minimum wage workers are either college students or high school students. For many, working is the only way to afford going to school. I think if enough people come together we can push towards a higher minimum wage.

The volume of support has now reached a scale that allows me to formally request a sit-down with the congressional office leading these labor discussions. I am currently drafting the briefing package detailing our position for that meeting. I will provide a summary of their response as soon as I receive it.

7.25 is absolutely ridiculous. nobody can live on that anymore, rent is way too high everywhere
its about time we got a raise. cost of living keeps going up but pay stays the same. thanks for starting this
needs to be at least 15 an hour minimum. hope this reaches the right people
The current system needs to be replaced i know so many people in my life affected by low wages it needs to change
I agree with this petition, minimum wage needs to be increased the current system does not work
love the cartoon lmao
In other countries its higher
