Inflation and minimum wage
Why is a minimum wage of $15 per hour a pie in the sky for us while in many other industrialized nations, a minimum wage of $20 or more per hour has been the norm for many years?
If our minimum wage has kept pace with inflation in the last 40 years or so, it would be nearly $25 per hour by now.
