​"We need an economy that reflects the realities of 2026, not one stuck over a decade ago," said the newly sworn-in Rep. Analilia Mejía, who helped lead the campaign to raise wages in her home state of New Jersey.

    Cause different parts of the country also set their own minimum wage, some states have $15/hr. Some cities have $18/hr or more.

    High cost of living areas and low cost of living areas don’t really need the same wage floor.

    Yes, the national minimum wage is far too low, but individual states and cities also have the ability to raise it locally, and many already do.
