I believe that a raise of $7.25/hr was recently approved by the house of Representatives, but I have not heard anything more within the last week.

Why should there even be a minimum wage? The lowest wage is for entry level employees. As you gain more experience you earn more. If all you can do is pick cotton at $1/hour maybe you need more training rather than a minimum wage.

I was watching the news the other night. A special report on minimum wage,and to be plain and simple,Minimum wage is NOT going up this year,BUT I believe they are working on it going up to 7.25 an hour sometime for the 2007 work year. That's what the special report said. :)

They're voting on a bill that would raise min wage BUT it's also tacked on to another provision that would change estate tax laws to really favor the rich. For this reason it's probably not going to pass.

Last I heard it was drawn up to be raised in 4 parts to the $7 range... then Congress hit recess for a while.. so don't hold your breath for a few months.

Stop depending on min wage to go up, so that you can afford stuff. Go out there and get a better job. If your still in school then worry more about your education.

Yes, I was told @ my job mw is going up soon. ( But it really doesn't matter much, for every quarter that Min wage goes up, it seems like everything else goes up .50cents! ) (or more) Besides that, it's been on the news several times in the past few months.

They really need to raise the min wage in California. If they paid people according to the cost of living it should be about $12.00.
