The push for a higher minimum wage continues

from The Common · host WBUR

Last year, minimum wage earners in Massachusetts gained a new $15 hourly pay floor -- the final increase in a five-year plan that aimed to increase pay for some of the states lowest earning workers. While Massachusetts' minimum wage is among the highest in the country, advocates say a $15 wage falls short of providing a livable income for workers in the state, considering the cost of living. Today, WBUR Senior Business Reporter Zeninjor Enwemeka joins The Common to discuss a new push for a $20 minimum wage. Greater Boston’s weekly podcast where news and culture meet.
