The $15/hr minimum wage proposed in the covid relief bill would apply to all jobs nationwide that are subject to the minimum wage. The racist and sexist rules that exempt farm workers and tipped employees would continue.
Sorry, my bad. I stand corrected.
In fact,
The proposed bill would also raise the tipped minimum wage and youth minimum wage, by phasing both out by 2027.
I'm still inclined, however, to not let perfect be the enemy of good. It's $7.25 now, and was last increased over a decade ago (2009) following law that was passed in 2007. That's a record long lapse.
