Minimum wage is something that all of us look forward to being high; it doesn’t matter the amount we might be earning. There mere knowledge that people are compensated a substantial amount of money for their services is somewhat comforting to know. A minimum wage of 15 dollars per hour appeared to be a mountain to climb for the government but it did eventually become a reality in 2015 and the attempts to make it a common norm throughout the country are going on.
15 dollar minimum wage expected to spread:
It’s expected that around 5 major states and around 10 cities are going to consider making the 15 dollars/hour bill a law as soon as the start of the next year. This will firstly have to get approved by the legislating bodies followed by a ballot that would eventually end up determining whether the people want it or not.
Apart from this, around 14 states are trying their best to make the minimum wages go up on the 1st of January and where the amounts are still a little under 15 dollars, it’s expected to create a wave of assurance among the expecting federal employees which is going to be a good sign.
All in all, steps like these are not only eyed by people that aren’t compensated enough, but it’s also somewhat satisfying for the normal population to know that everybody is getting enough to make both ends meet. Here’s hoping that things continue being on the right track and that this setting of minimum wage extends to the whole country so that prosperity and happiness can prevail regardless of demographic and financial differences. The government is to be lauded in this regard and the importance of the efforts of the Congressional members can also not be undermined.
