The government of Washington, D.C., is expected to vote June 7 on a proposal to raise the jurisdiction’s minimum wage to $15 an hour.
The pay floor, currently at $10.50 per hour, would rise in increments to $15 by 2020 if the measure is approved.
The proposal has been pushed through the committee stage by Mayor Muriel Bowser. It comes as proponents of a so-called living wage are trying to put a $15-wage proposal on the November ballot as an initiative.
