"Raising the #minimumwage is always a pro-women, pro-mothers policy because women and mothers are disproportionately represented among low-wage workers." epi.org/publication/co… #1u
"As state minimum wage increases have taken effect over the past 5 years, low-wage workers—especially low-wage women—in those states have had much stronger wage growth than their counterparts in states with no change in the minimum wage."
"The #RaisetheWage Act of 2019—which was introduced this past February, but still has not received a vote—would gradually raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25, where it currently sits, to $15 per hour by 2024.
"If the bill is enacted, 7.8 million working moms across the country—over 30 percent of all working mothers—would receive a raise. This includes 4.1 million single moms—4 out of every 10 working single moms in the United States.
"The average working mother impacted by the policy change would receive an extra $3,050 in annual income after the wage change is fully phased in if she works year round."
