Hi Friends!
It’s a meaty week for work news and here’s what we’re jamming about this week.
Topic 1: Minimum Wage Increasing. But Is It Livable?
We break down the implications of the wage increase from $7.25 to $10.50 an hour in 2024, and the march to $17 by 2028. It’s getting better, but is it livable? We talk all aspects of this. And we referenced these articles:
- Statista Report
- Fair Labor Standards Act
- FLSA Minimum Wage Overview
- FLSA Minimum Wage Guide
- Washington Post Interactive Guide/
- Drexel University Center for Hunger-Free Communities Report
- Debt Org Report
- Economic Policy Institute Raise the Wage Act
- CBS News - U.S. Companies are Stealing Wages from Low Wage Workers
Topic 2: DEI Efforts Under Siege. What It Means For You.
Anti-DEI sentiment is on the rise which is a total bummer. We break down what DEI initiatives set out to do, how it benefits employees and companies. Additionally, we jam about CNN’s latest article around what’s at stake if we clawback investment in DEI.
