About 7 million workers will benefit from state minimum wage increases passed since the President’s initial call in 2013: Since the President called for a minimum wage increase in early 2013, 13 states and the District of Columbia have passed increases to their minimum wage. According to new estimates from the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA), about 7 million workers will benefit from these increases as of 2017. ? The Administration is implementing the President’s Executive Order to raise the minimum wage for workers on new Federal contracts – which will benefit nearly 200,000 workers: The Administration is on track to implement by the end of the year a new Executive Order raising the minimum wage for workers on new Federal contracts to $10.10 an hour, which is estimated to benefit nearly 200,000 workers by 2019.
Cities and counties have also taken steps to raise their wages: Cities like Philadelphia, Louisville, and St. Louis have raised the minimum wage for their employees and contractors, joining other cities and counties that have raised wages for all local workers. ? Businesses – both large and small – are taking action: Since the beginning of the year, large companies like Gap Inc., Disney, and IKEA as well as small businesses across the country have announced increases to their starting wages. For example, Gap Inc.’s increase in its starting wage to $10 an hour by next year will benefit 65,000 workers – and has already helped increase applicants for new positions by 10 percent.
