The fact that the federal minimum wage has stagnated at $7.25/hour since 2009 is atrocious.

But in reality, it's actually far worse than that.

The federal minimum wage is worth 28% less today than it was worth in 2009.

It’s worth 41% less than in 1968.

An absolute disgrace.

@rbreich That is outrageous for a wealthy nation like the USA. New Zealand’s minimum wage is $21.20, even with the exchange rate it’s more than double that of America!
