Economics and studies show that increasing minimum wages reduces suicides, crime, poverty, and income inequality while improving economic growth all with a minimal effect on prices.
More than 72% of Americans support raising the minimum wage, indicating a strong public consensus that the current conditions necessitate better wages to cope with rising living costs.
The most popular short-term solution includes raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour and tying a regular annual increase to inflation to maintain its value.
Many efforts to increase the minimum wage have faced significant opposition, particularly from right-wing groups and the Republican party, with some advocating for the removal of minimum wage laws entirely.
