Should the minimum wage be $20 an hour?

A $20 floor better matches today’s living costs and would reduce poverty for full-time workers.

A $20 minimum wage helps workers afford basic necessities amidst rising living costs.

A blanket $20 federal minimum would outpace local living costs in low-wage regions, pricing out entry-level jobs and small businesses faster than it helps.

A uniform $20 floor ignores regional cost-of-living gaps and would cost more entry-level jobs than it saves workers from poverty.
