But is it keeping up with inflation the way higher income earners are

seeing the increase. A couple dollar an hour increase for a minimum wage worker may help but isn’t offsetting the prices of food, rent and gas.
An increase from $12 to $15 an hour seems like a good raise but equates to about 6k/year. That gets eaten up pretty quickly by our current inflation on daily life prices.
