I doubt there are many federal employees making minimum wage or less.

“I doubt there are many federal employees making minimum wage or less.”

It’s for federal contractors too. They may have some broom pushers, etc., that will now make the new minimum.

Maybe not, but there are union contracts where wages are tied to the federal minimum wage. When that goes up, many union wages go up.
