minimum wage
It wasn't until the New Deal that congress finally enacted a federal minimum wage law. The Fair Labor Standards Act, passed in 1938, set the minimum wage at $0.25 per hour.
States usually set a minimum wage that is reflective of the cost of living in the region. For example, the state of Massachusetts has a minimum wage of $14.25 per hour, increasing to $15 in 2023
