Can Someone Clarify this $15 Minimum Wage

Everyone says it applies to everyone: restraurant workers, Walmart workers, Dollar Store Workers...people in the private and public workforce.

But when they introduce it, it appears to only be govt workers and govt contractors. Then these political talking heads and their compliant reporters imply that its "everybody". Public or private.

So who specifically does it apply to?

Biden used an executive order to require federal contractors and federal workers to use a 15 dollar minimum wage. If they want it to apply to everyone congress must pass a bill raising the federal minimum wage which is currently at 7.25 per hour.
Thanks. That's what I thought. But all the media and Biden's talking heads imply it applies to every worker.

When Covid hit millions of jobs got replaced with technology and they are not coming back. Raising the minimum wage does the same thing Robots can do almost anything a human can do they were just more expensive to invest in. If we can invent a car that drives itself a robot can make a big mac
They already have robots that can make Big Macs. Everyone who works at the Mickey Ds by me speaks Spanish. That's why the big push for univeral income is coming.

Watching CNBC right now and they're talking about Biden's $15 an hour minimum wage for ALL jobs.

This won't increase illegal immigration. HA!
Two different things.

There is a request in the 1.9T covid bill requesting a $15 minimum wage. It would replace the $7.35 current minimum. This is legislation.

He has signed an EO for federal govt employees and contractors. This won’t have a huge effect as there are not a lot of federal employees that make much less than that. Contractors might feel some pinch but not much because they are either employee replacement with wages set equal to full-time staff (above 15 already) or working for a bidded job where salaries and pay would all just reflect the 15 so no loss either way.

Agree. Also agree that most Fed employees already make more than 15 an hour.

The issue is both Fox and NBC are making it sound like it applies to all employees - Fed and NonFed. Agree that a separate "law" is needed. On CNBC they analysts were basically saying the $15 Fed would basically "encourage" private employers to $15.

If you need the 15$ minimum wage now you need to leave Texas. Texas takes care of the big money that owns the government. They want the working people to earn 7ish per hour. Lucky me because I have never been stuck with a minimum wage job serving the greedy white man

Remember when an escort rates went up from $75 (1976) to $100 (1982) for outcall? That was outrageous my salary didn't go up that much during that time slice. I remember getting a "Raise" when Minimum wage went up to $2.30 per hour in 76. Now girls are trying to get $400 / hour which is like charging $145/hr back in 1982. People have to realize that if they increase minimum wage across the board to $15 per hour - yes it looks good for the worker until you start seeing all the other costs go up. Problem is that just because the lower end get an increase, Everyone is hurt because now your burger will cost will be obscene. I laugh every time I see the Arby's commercial - 5 for $10 - no it was 5 for $5. A few years back they found out that $4 / gallon for gas was the breaking point. People just cut way back on their driving and the Energy companies realized they hit the breaking point, maybe providers will catch on as well?
