Increase the gap between wages and living costs in America
reports Mehr News Agency , the United States has been challenged for a long time in determining a fair minimum wage. The federal minimum wage has remained at $ 1.5 per hour since year 2 and has not been able to grow in harmony with inflation and increased living costs.
While some states have increased their minimum wage-for example, in Chicago, the minimum wage is $ 1.5 per hour and in the states Missouri and Min are set at $ 4.9 and $ 4.9, but millions of workers in other states continue to meet old and inefficient wage standards.
Workers ‘unions and workers’ rights activists have always strived to raise wages, and these efforts have led to widespread protests in year 6.
However, due to political differences and corporate resistance, wage increases at national level still face major obstacles. The result of these efforts will determine whether the United States can reduce the gap between wages and living costs.
