What is the average minimum wage for a job in the United States?

The US Department of Labor sets the minimum wage at $7.25 per hour. If we calculate 40 hours a week, it will be $300, and a month will be 1200. ?

According to American media reports on June 14, Los Angeles is about to become a city in the United States that requires a minimum wage of $0/5 per hour. This move in Los Angeles will undoubtedly bring pressure to other cities. Raising the minimum wage will inevitably become an important issue in the next round of presidential elections.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Jasseh signed the law on Saturday, requiring employers to gradually raise the minimum wage until it reaches $65,438+05 per hour. In the first step, by July 20 16, the minimum wage will reach $65,438+$00.5 per hour, and will be increased annually thereafter until $65,438+$02, $65,438+$03.5, $65,438+$04.25, and finally $65,438+$05.

Obviously, in a city, for most people who work in the entertainment industry, the salary is relatively high. The higher minimum wage aims to raise the wages of waiters and fast food employees working in Qian Qian's service and catering industries.

Jasseh said: "In general, Los Angeles will also benefit from this growth. When everyone has the ability to consume and buy, our economy is always in a state of prosperity. "

Los Angeles followed Seattle and San Francisco in raising the minimum wage. Last year, Chicago passed a resolution to gradually raise the minimum wage to $0/3 per hour. Depending on whether the inflation rate will increase, the laws in Los Angeles may be covered by state laws. The California legislature is considering a bill to raise the minimum wage to $65,438+03, and if inflation occurs, the minimum wage may increase accordingly.
