The national minimum wage was created by Congress under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) in 1938. Congress enacted this legislation under its Constitutional grant of authority to regulate interstate commerce.
The FLSA introduced the forty-hour work week, established a national minimum wage, guaranteed time-and-a-half for overtime in certain jobs, and prohibited most employment of minors in oppressive child labor, a term that is defined in the statute.
