Minimum wage on average rests at $7.25 for those who work hourly. For those who work through tips it is on average $2.13. This is the given amount of wage through the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
This petition is to raise the average by $2 dollars thus making hourly $9.25 and tipped $4.13. It has been credited that the USA government should actually require atleast $10 for minimum wage, yet provides us with nearly 3 dollars less than what we annually should work for. The increase in 2 dollars will help those that which are charged tax on credit tips and recieve on average less than 15% in what is said the usually tip wage for restaurant. Also it would help those who receive less money than they work for weekly out by a mere raise of $2.00.
