The Bare Minimum

from Airborne · host Daniel Shuster

Democrats are trying to pass a $1.9 trillion stimulus bill through Congress, to help the economy recover from COVID. One of the provisions in this bill was a national $15 minimum wage, but after being struck down by a Senate parliamentarian, Democrats have backed off from raising the minimum wage, at least for now, in favor of passing the giant stimulus. But is the minimum wage a boon for the economy, allowing workers to be paid a living wage, or does it kill jobs, and crush small businesses? Find out now in Airborne Episode 11-The Bare Minimum.
