In this election year, raising the federal minimum wage to at least $15 is being proposed, but experts argue that this amount is insufficient for covering basic living expenses. While several states are considering similar increases, current proposals, including those in Alaska, Missouri, and California, would not provide a livable wage for individuals or families, which experts suggest needs to be between $21 and $27 per hour. The ongoing Fight for $15 movement, which began a decade ago, highlights the growing disparity between minimum wages and actual living costs.
