What if the minimum wage had kept rising at a rate that respected the contribution of workers? “It would be over $24 an hour today.” So a new Democratic administration could have started where the AFL-CIO does, by noting that, “had the federal minimum wage kept pace with workers’ productivity since 1968 the inflation-adjusted minimum wage would be $24 an hour.” Joe Biden hasn’t gone there. He has started with a modest proposal to raise the wage to $15 an hour in stages between now and 2025. This is the definition of incremental progress. “$15 an hour and by the way, it’s over a four-year period is not a radical idea,” says Senate Budget Committee Chair Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). “If you make $15 bucks an hour, you are not getting rich. But at least, at least, you have a shot to live with a minimum of dignity. You don’t have to have all the stress and pressure that’s on you right now trying to survive on starvation wages.”
