In the US, companies hired employees at 15 an hour


AHMEDABAD: Corona's influence in the US has waned and people are now busy. Public life is becoming normal here due to rapid vaccination. After almost a year of lockdown people are now stepping out and spending strongly. This has led to increased demand in the restaurant, retail and travel industries. To meet this demand, the service industry is offering workers ૫ 15 per hour, or Rs 1,100.

The minimum wage in the United States is ૨૫ 4.5 an hour. However, many companies are now paying ૫ 15 an hour. The number is not just a coincidence, said Aaron Sojor, an economist at the University of Minnesota. It has been in demand for 10 years.

Many workers are still earning less than ૫ 15 an hour. According to the Congressional Budget Office, 1.5 crore workers will not be able to reach this level even by 202.

Julia Polk, a labor economist at ZipPrecure, said the number of job postings of કલાક 15 an hour has doubled since 2014. Many people have benefited from this. The last time the minimum wage was raised in the United States was in 2006.

There was also a demand for raising the minimum wage to ૫ 15 during the 2020 presidential election. The rationale behind this was that salaried workers would meet their basic needs and economic inequality would be reduced.
