History of Changes to the Minimum Wage Law | U.S. Department of Labor

The 2007 amendments increased the minimum wage to $5.85 per hour effective July 24, 2007; $6.55 per hour effective July 24, 2008; and $7.25 per hour effective July 24, 2009.

2009!!!! We haven’t changed it since 2009?!? I heard someone say this today, and I had to go check for myself.

Know what that amount is adjusted for inflation?

$26

We are not taking care of people in this country.
