A bill seeking to raise Wyoming s minimum wage to $15 an hour was recently killed by the state legislature. But that doesn t mean the fight for $15 is going away.
The Southeast Wyoming Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are hosting a virtual forum on Thursday, March 11, to discuss and make the case for raising the minimum wage. While the federal minimum wage is $7.25, Wyoming s minimum wage is $5.15.
