"In this year's State of the Union, President Obama announced that he
would be issuing an Executive Order requiring federal contractors to pay
their workers a minimum wage of $10.10. Today, Secretary of Labor Tom
Perez announced a final rule that implements the Executive Order -- and the rule will benefit almost 200,000 American workers.
"By raising the minimum wage for workers on federal contracts, we're
rewarding a hard day's work with fair pay," Secretary Perez said.
But there's more we can do. Raising the minimum wage nationwide will
increase earnings for millions of workers and boost the bottom lines of
businesses across the country. This is personal for millions of
Americans, whether they earn the current minimum wage or no.."
