Minimum wage

[Hulud]

I was just informed last night that minimum wage will be changing Jan. 1 from 5.50 to 7.25. Kinda scares me because that must mean that we are experiencing inflation. The prices of everything will increase dramatically and that 7.25 and hour won't seem much at all. Sounds like the U.S is fucked up to me

have you seen any reports of this?
cause i cant find anything about the feds raising it or ga raising theirs

cause a $2 jump sounds unlikely

heres something i found

The Republican leadership in the House has refused to allow a vote on a bill (H.R. 2429) that would increase the minimum wage to $7.25 per hour over two years. So working family advocates have signed a “discharge petition” that will force a vote on the bill—if a majority of representatives signs it

they were trying to do it over a 2 year period so it first off wouldnt go into effect jan 1st it would take a couple years of raising to get it there

but also not enough votes yet it seems

there is nothing goin into effect for the state of georgia or teh federal govt right now that is goin to raise min wage that i can find. john kerry propsed a raise to 7.15 for the fed govt but it has not been approved yet. there are other states taht are raising theres to $7+ but theirs werent as low as 515
