Legislative Process Diagram

$15 Minimum Wage
Bill- In 2019, the Raise the Wage Act legislation, which would rapidly increase the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2025, was introduced in the U.S. House and Senate. The NFIB Research Center studied the economic effects of enacting this legislation and found that it would lead to more than $980 billion in real gross domestic product loss over 10 years and 1.6 million fewer jobs in the U.S. in 2029, with nearly 700,000 of those from businesses with fewer than 100 employees.
