Index the federal minimum wage after it reaches $25 per hour so it automatically rises in future years to equal two-thirds of the national median wage.

The bill would also guarantee a living wage for workers by mandating automatic, continued increases of the federal minimum wage to two-thirds of the national median wage.

Murphy's legislation would require automatic future minimum-wage increases tied to two-thirds of the national median wage.

Murphy's office said he would introduce the Living Wage For All Act, raising the federal minimum wage to $25 and then indexing it to two-thirds of the national median wage.

Within the lookback window, Murphy took a concrete legislative step that matches the commitment's substance, but the release describes introduction/advocacy rather than enactment.

Draft bill text amends FLSA minimum-wage schedules to reach $25 and directs annual determinations equal to two-thirds of median hourly wages.

The posted bill text implements the exact indexing mechanism after $25, showing serious concrete action; it is not evidence of final passage or implementation.

The Department of Labor states the federal minimum wage remains $7.25 per hour, effective July 24, 2009.

As of the refresh, federal wage administration still reflects the old $7.25 minimum wage, so the promised $25 indexed standard has not been delivered.
