$15-an-Hour Minimum Wage for Federal Workers Takes Effect
---------------------------------------------------------

The Biden administration has ordered federal agencies to enact the new
$15-an-hour minimum wage for federal employees by the end of the month.
The change will affect nearly 70,000 workers. Biden signed an executive
order raising the minimum wage for federal workers and contractors last
April.
