Do any economists believe $15/HR minimum wage would be good?
How does the federal minimum wage compare to the proposed $15/hour rate?
The current federal minimum wage is $7.25/hour, which hasn't been increased since 2009. Proponents of a $15/hour minimum wage argue that the current rate is not enough to support workers and their families, while opponents argue that a $15/hour minimum wage would be too high and lead to negative consequences.
