Bipartisan Bill by Senators Hawley and Welch Proposes $15 Federal Minimum Wage by 2026, Tied to Inflation

Senators Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Peter Welch (D-Vt.) have introduced bipartisan legislation called the Higher Wages for American Workers Act to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2026. The bill also proposes tying future minimum wage increases to inflation. This effort marks the first push to increase the federal minimum wage since 2009, responding to rising prices and cost of living following persistent inflation after the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, Japan has set a target to raise its minimum hourly wage to ¥1,500 by 2030 and aims for a 1% real wage growth as part of its new economic and fiscal management guidelines, which include measures to support productivity improvements and price pass-through countermeasures.
