The minimum wage battle has been at the front and center of the current news cycle, and at the end of April, Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) and Rep. Robert C. Scott (D-Va.) introduced a bill to raise the minimum wage to $12 an hour (and eliminate the low tipped minimum wage). New York Governor Andrew Cuomo also just took steps to raise the wage for fast food workers in his state, and cities such as Seattle, San Francisco, and Oakland have recently implemented higher minimum wages as well.
