Podcasts about federal minimum wage

The last time Congress raised the federal minimum wage, it went up 70 cents — from $6.55 to $7.25 an hour. That was in 2009. Today, we’ll get into why there hasn’t been a successful push to boost it since then and who suffers as a result. Plus, officials in China promise major tax reform, apartment vacancies in Sun Belt cities rise and the Federal Reserve keeps an eye on GDP estimates.

Since its enactment in March 2020, emergency spending expanded healthcare coverage to some 15 million people who will now be disenrolled, and increased food stamp benefits, and post-partum coverage in many states. Poor parents will be taking a hit — but Guaranteed Income could be the solution. The Magnolia Mothers Trust in Jackson, Mississippi is the first in the country to provide Guaranteed Income of $1000 monthly to low-income families headed by a Black woman living in affordable housing. Joining Laura for this Mother's Day special are Aisha Nyandoro who leads this program as the CEO of Springboard Opportunities, a nonprofit organization working with residents in affordable housing to help them reach their goals; Anquoindria Moore, a mother of three was a recipient of this cash relief from Magnolia Mothers and Dorian Warren, the Co-President of Community Change, that  focuses on building the power of people most impacted by injustice. How does cash relief reduce poverty, and increase equity and security for families? All that, and a commentary from Laura on renewing, and renaming, the tax credit program.“Clearly it is not only about the cash. I had the opportunity to meet some very wonderful people. I was also able to socialize with different women who were also in the same shoes as me or similar . . . The women there are not getting involved and then leaving you stranded.” - Anquoindria Moore“When people have a little more breathing room, when they don't have to count every penny to pay bills . . . they actually have more time to get involved in our democracy and their communities and school board elections and town hall meetings . . . That is important for the promise of multiracial democracy in this country.” - Aisha Nyandoro“We know that if we trust women in particular and give them agency, they will always do the right thing for their kids . . . What we're up against is basically ideologues and zombie ideas who are ignoring the evidence and the stories about the participants in these kinds of programs.” - Dorian WarrenGuests:Anquoindria Moore: Recipient, Magnolia Mothers TrustDr. Aisha Nyandoro: CEO, Springboard To OpportunitiesDorian Warren: Co-President, Community Change Full Show Notes are located HERE.  They include related episodes, articles, and more to dive deeper.Music In the Middle:   “Don't Know What Tomorrow Brings” by Secret Night Gang from their forth coming album “Belongs on a Place Called Earth," courtesy of Brownswood Recordings.

This week on Meat and Three, we are examining what happens the moment the check arrives. We hear about the lived experience of being a tipped worker before turning to academics and advocates to explain the history and politics of tipping. Then, we talk to an expert on pay-what-you-can restaurants on the role of such establishments in the fight against food insecurity. Oftentimes, the ways we pay for our food goes unquestioned yet these guests prompt us to reimagine paying for our meals to better support the dignity of workers and eaters alike. This week teaches us that a few dollars can make a big difference. Join us next week to talk about big money as we explore the role of banking and finance in the food industry. Further Reading:Saru Jayaraman is the President of One Fair Wage and the Director of the Food Labor Research Center at University California Berkeley. Listen to Shiftwork by the Restaurant Workers' Community Foundation on Heritage Radio NetworkYou can read more about the history of tipping and its origins in the Reconstruction period here.

Congress has been unwilling to go along with a national minimum wage of $15 an hour. The Biden administration imposed one for the federal workforce and for contractors. Federal Drive host Tom Temin spoke with someone who thinks such a mandated wage could result in reduced services and flexibility for the government itself: Rachel Greszler is a research fellow in economics at the conservative Heritage Foundation.

In this episode we'll take a trip down memory lane and hear the 2015 version of me talking about minimum wage equals minimum skills and that the market will not support a $15 minimum wage without killing jobs. Then we get to peel my palm from my forehead and examine the perspective conservatives take on minimum wage and why its time to change the perspective. We also take a look at a podcast I found this last week that I have been binge listening to and cannot get enough of! I hope you'll check out UNFTR, where Max and his team take on UnF()@king the Republic. It really is an amazing podcast. If you're listening to me to get ideas, you'll love UNFTR. If you're listening to me because you are in the process of deconstructing your conservatism, you'll hear a wildly different perspective than you're used to in the conservative echo chamber. Listen with an open mind and you'll be blown away by the intelligent and well constructed arguments of the UNFTR team. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/deconamericon/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/deconamericon/support

PART 2: The federal minimum wage has not risen since 2009, but that hasn't stopped the cost of living to increase over the past 12 years, leading to higher prices for essential goods and services. This begs the question, should the federal minimum wage be increased to $15 per hour? Based on this information, it sounds like an easy YES! However, we must consider small business owners and how that affects them. Will the cost of goods & services increase as a result of this increase thus evening out the increase in wages? There is a lot of information to unravel on this episode so join and let us know your thoughts!

Where in the US Constitution does it say if a President has a pen and a phone, he can be dictator for life? Obama started it, and now when Biden clearly realized he cannot get a $15 Federal Minimum Wage through Congress because Democrats are against it, he just issued an executive order mandating it for all Federal Contractors, regardless of any skill level required for the job — from janitorial staff to cafeteria staff to highly skilled trade workers to licensed, degreed professionals. As long as such “wages” are just passed along to the taxpayers through government contracts, the Democrats think that is fine. For any business needing to make a profit and doing business with the Federal Government, this is absolutely, financially impossible, and the Democrats do not care!Press Secretary Jen Psaki slipped up and almost called the current President in the White House signing all these Executive Orders “Obama”. We know Biden is not now capable of developing and writing Executive Orders in the volume he is issuing them, but the question (behind the scene) is who is really doing it? It is the kind of actions Obama would have done, but he probably is not the one doing it. What about someone who has a connection to Obama working behind the scenes now? We don’t know; but chances are good it will eventually leak out in a slip-up like the one which happened today.The owner of Linnie’s Pub’s, sports bar in Cincinnati, Ohio, is so tired of inappropriate comments from sports personalities that he announced he would no longer play NBA games in his bar until LeBron James is expelled from the NBA over his terrible tweets regarding cops. The bar owner supports law enforcement, and he has had enough of those who do not, including those supporting BLM (the marxist, anti-cop, anti-American Black Lives Matters). Our American Mamas, Denise Arthur and Teri Netterville, are hoping other bar owners will follow his example, and they hope Linnie’s Pub attracts a lot of new patrons.Gallup did a poll and found more Americans distrust Biden than similarly distrusted Trump at the same point in their Presidencies. By giving the Democrats 96% of what they want and only giving the Republicans 4% of what it wants, there is no way Biden can be considered anything but divisive!There are some Democrats who know the Far Left is on a destructive path which will hurt both the Democrat Party and the United States of America. “Wokeness” is a problem for Democrats looking to the future, and it could hurt them in future elections. Being “woke” means you are putting more emphasis and value upon “external, easily observed” factors, such as skin color, than on a person’s underlying character. James Carville, Tulsi Gabbard, and Rose McGowan are expressing openly their concerns.

If the federal government raises the minimum wage, New Hampshire employers will have to match that minimum.  Tipped employees, however, are treated differently under state and federal law.  Now lawmakers in Concord are considering a bill to insulate the tipped wage from federal increases.

The politicians in Washington that are proponents of a $15 minimum wage claim that it will raise the pay rate for people to one that is a livable wage. Although the Congressional Budget Office estimates a rise in the minimum wage to $15 would increase the income of around 7 million people, the increase in wages would also result in a loss of 1.3 million low-end jobs, according to the Department of Labor.   A $15 an hour minimum wage might sound like a good idea. This is particularly the case if you are currently earning a low wage. There is no argument that living on a low hourly pay rate is a challenge. However, raising the federal minimum wage to $15 will not likely have the outcome many people are hoping for.   This podcast episode talks about the problems with raising the federal minimum wage to $15.   Visit Our Website: https://smartstartmoney.com Subscribe to the Podcast:  https://smartstartmoney.podbean.com/ Questions or Comments About the Podcast?

The federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour hasn’t changed since 2009. Workers in 21 states make the federal floor, which can be even lower for people who make tips. And at $7.25 an hour, a person working full time with a dependent is making below the federal poverty line.States such as California, Florida, Illinois and Massachusetts have approved gradual minimum wage increases to reach $15 an hour — so is it time to do it at the federal level?On Wednesday 20 senators from both parties are set to meet to discuss whether to use their influence on minimum wage legislation.Economists have argued for years about the consequences of the hike, saying employers who bear the costs would be forced to lay off some of the very employees the minimum wage was intended to support. A report by the Congressional Budget Office on a proposal to see $15 by 2025 estimates the increase would move 900,000 people out of poverty — and at the same time cut 1.4 million jobs.On today’s episode, we debate the fight for $15 with two people who see things very differently. Saru Jayaraman is the president of One Fair Wage and the director of the Food Labor Research Center at the University of California, Berkeley. Jeffrey Miron is a senior lecturer in the department of economics at Harvard University and the director of economic studies at the Cato Institute.Learn MoreThe Congressional Budget Office’s February 2021 report on the budgetary effects of the Raise the Wage Act of 2021.The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ April 2020 report “Characteristics of Minimum Wage Workers.”

In this episode I discuss the unconstitutional $15.00 federal minimum wage that is being pushed. I make the argument that this mandate would hurt the people they claim to want to help. Why? Just because the government forces a higher wage, doesn't mean businesses have the financial capability to pay that wage. Their budget doesn't just magically change bc they government says so. So what happens? Lets get into it.

With all the talk of a new federal minimum wage, I thought this would be a good tie not only to ask the question, is it legal, but to look at a case about it from our history.

President Joe Biden remains staunchly committed to pursuing a $15 an hour federal minimum wage. No matter how long the fight drags on in congress. And no matter how heavy the opposition he faces is. "No one should work 40 hours a week and live-in poverty," Biden said. "But it's totally legitimate for small business owners to be concerned." One recent study by the National Bureau of Economic Research concluded that 80% of economic research over the last 30 years had found job losses associated with a higher minimum wage. The evidence of a negative impact is stronger for teens and young adults, as well as the less educated. Since 2009, the federal minimum wage has been $7.25 an hour, though 29 states and Washington D.C. have higher minimum wages, as do some cities and counties, according to PolitiFact. Among the general public, the $15 minimum wage is popular, although business groups and their allies among lawmakers argue that they would cause job losses So, what should we make of the “Fight for $15?” Hoyt Bleakley is a Professor of Economics at the University of Michigan and he joined me this week to provide some prospective on the subject.

The feds have no delegated power to impose wage controls under the original, legal meaning of the Constitution. Federal supremacists will quickly point to the commerce clause. But that constitutional argument for a federal minimum wage is as ignorant as the economic arguments. The post Federal Minimum Wage and the Constitution first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.

By Chris NicholsWould raising the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour “destroy up to 3.7 million jobs” in the United States? That’s what GOP House Minority Leader and California Rep. Kevin McCarthy claimed in the headline of a press release on Tuesday as Democrats in Congress began debating the move. On Twitter the same day, McCarthy wrote the wage hike “could put nearly 4 million Americans out of work.” This is a screen shot of the headline from McCarthy’s press release. The Biden Administration last month proposed raising the federal minimum hourly pay from $7.25 to $15, with increases of about $1.50 every year for five years. To make that happen, Congressional Democrats introduced the Raise the Wage Act of 2021 last month and began considering the legislation in the House Committee on Education and Labor this week. Here’s what McCarthy said in the body of the press release: “At this critical point, the Democrats’ big, creative response is to raise the federal national wage to $15 an hour — a move the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office previously found could cost nearly 4 million workers their jobs.” President Joe Biden initially included the proposal to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour in his $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill. But he predicted last week it would be left out due to opposition from Republicans and centrist Democrats. Given the debate over raising the wage and its impact on jobs, we decided to take a closer look at McCarthy’s claim in this fact check. Our Research In his press release and tweet, McCarthy linked to an analysis of the wage proposal by the Congressional Budget Office published on Monday. The CBO, a nonpartisan research service, predicted the wage hike would eliminate jobs, but would also raise wages for an estimated 17 million people and lift 900,000 people out of poverty. It doesn’t say anything about destroying an estimated “3.7 million” positions as McCarthy claimed. Instead, the CBO said “the average estimate is that employment would be reduced by 1.4 million workers.” The report goes on to say there’s a “one-third chance” the loss will be between 1 million and 2.7 million workers, still far less than McCarthy’s number. “Young, less educated people would account for a disproportionate share of those reductions in employment,” the report adds. A spokesperson for McCarthy did not respond to questions. Deborah Kilroe, a spokesperson for the CBO, said McCarthy likely got his figure from a July 2019 CBO report that also examined raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour. That older analysis predicted the “median estimate” for job losses would be 1.3 million. Meanwhile, it said “there is a two thirds chance that the change in employment would be between about zero and a decrease of 3.7 million workers.” That last figure lines up with McCarthy’s statement of “nearly 4 million workers,” but it comes from the high-end of an old report and ignores what the CBO published this week. Last month, FactCheck.org found Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul also distorted the facts on this topic. The senator told Fox News that “the government estimates are close to 4 million people will lose their jobs,” if the minimum wage hike goes through. FactCheck.org examined the July 2019 CBO report [the current report had yet to be published] and found Paul cherry-picked the high-end of that report. Our Ruling Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy claimed raising the national minimum wage to $15 per hour “would destroy up to 3.7 million jobs.” McCarthy appears to be citing a Congressional Budget Office analysis from 2019 that said, at the high-end, 3.7 million jobs could be lost from the wage hike. But in his statement, he linked to the CBO’s new analysis published this week which found an average estimate of 1.4 million jobs would be lost, a figure he omitted. The new CBO report added there’s a “one-third chance” the loss will be between 1 million and 2.7 million workers, still far less than McCarthy’s claim. In the end, we found McCarthy cherry-picked a figure from an old report while ignoring current data on the topic that tells a different story. We rated his claim False. FALSE – The statement is not accurate. Source List Rep. Kevin McCarthy, press release and  tweet. Feb. 9, 2021.

Destiny Greenawalt had her first child eight years ago. That was three years after she started the job that she’s had for the past decade. Destiny’s job is entry-level. If it’s not minimum wage – which in the state of Pennsylvania is set at the Federal Minimum Wage of $7.25 per hour – it’s pretty damn close.The United States set that minimum wage in 2009 and Pennsylvania is one of 21 states – less than half of the states in the nation – that mirrors the federal numbers. According to an article by Marc Levy for the Associated Press, dated November of 2019, ” About 385,000 people in Pennsylvania hold a job that pays between $7.25 an hour and $9.50 an hour, according to the state Department of Labor and Industry. “By contrast, the retail cost of a gallon of milk in Pennsylvania as of Jan. 6, 2020, is $4.34. More than a half hour of work, as Destiny states in her interview. The cost of a gallon of gas is $2.92. Depending on what fuel you use to heat your home, you could be looking at $150 a month to keep your pipes, and your kids, from freezing.A person working 40 hours a week at $7.25 per hour can expect to bring home around $250 a week.See the full show notes here!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/twomomsdaydrinking)

A new study finds that the effective minimum wage in the United States is nearly $12/hr and when factored for inflation, probably the highest minimum wage in American history. We'll talk about how that impacts the national conversation around wages as well as the political ramifications for the industry. And California has a bold new initiative for restaurants to engage in the climate conversation. Is it a forward thinking part of the solution or are restaurants setting themselves up to cast as part of the problem? We take a look at that. And the cottage food industry is on fire and lawmakers across the country seem to fanning the flames. Will the home-prep industry soon take a bite out of traditional restaurants? We'll kick that around as well. We'll talk about those stories and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.

The Democrats have introduced their long-awaited legislation to raise the minimum wage to $ 15/hr. We'll discuss its prospects, particularly against the backdrop of the federal shutdown impasse. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce made news this week announcing that they will begin to rate lawmakers based in part on their bi-partisanship and willingness to compromise.We'll take a look at how that might play out. And, more Democrats are jumping into the presidential race but one thing they seem to have in common is their pledge to not accept corporate PAC donations. We discuss the ramifications of that for the business community. We'll talk about those stories and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.

Ed Butowsky, wealth manager, financial advisor, and managing partner of Chapwood Investment Management, discusses how the jump in minimum wages in two dozen states will effect the employers as well as the employees.
