Better Pay for American Workers Act

This bill would change the Fair Labor Standards Act to raise the federal minimum wage in steps. The minimum wage would be $15.00 an hour starting January 1, 2027, $17.50 an hour starting January 1, 2028, and $20.00 an hour starting January 1, 2029. Starting January 1, 2030, the Secretary of Labor would set a new minimum wage each year. That yearly amount would rise by the same percentage as any yearly increase in the median hourly wage of all employees, as measured by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and would be rounded to the nearest 5 cents.
