The debate over raising the federal minimum wage to $15 and hour is not an easy one. Senate and House Democrats are split over its inclusion in President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion relief package. Opponents argue a higher minimum wage will force small businesses to shed workers. Supporters for the hike, such as the U.S. Black Chambers, argue it will reduce pay inequality.
