Introduce and support the Living Wage For All Act to raise the federal minimum wage to $25 per hour nationwide through a phased schedule, including an increase to $12 in the first year.

U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on Thursday announced he will introduce the Living Wage For All Act, bicameral legislation to increase the federal minimum wage to 25 dollars an hour. Under a two-track phase-in, large corporate employers would be required to implement a $25 wage floor by 2032, while other businesses would have until 2039 to do so.

Murphy committed to introducing legislation that would raise the federal minimum wage to $25 per hour nationwide on a phased timeline.
