Vice President Kamala Harris said for the first time Tuesday that she backs hiking the federal minimum wage to at least $15 an hour, after blasting former President Donald Trump for dodging a question about whether he wants to raise it.
That’s the federal minimum. The state’s minimum wage subsequently increases based on cost of living, relative to the federal minimum. For example, the current federal minimum is $7.25/hr, but it’s $16 in NY. You could probably get by on $15/hr in Mississippi.
