Trump and Harris face each other in what polls show to be a tight race for the Nov. 5 U.S. elections. On Sunday, Trump conducted a campaign stop in a closed McDonald&#8217;s restaurant in suburban Philadelphia, where he did not answer directly when asked if he would support an increase in the minimum wage that would benefit fast-food workers.<\/p>\n<p>KEY QUOTES<br \/>\n&#8220;The current federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour, which means that the person who is working a full day and full weeks will make $15,000 a year, which is essentially poverty wages,&#8221; Harris told reporters during a campaign stop in Royal Oak, Michigan. &#8220;I absolutely believe that we must raise minimum wage,&#8221; she added. Harris did not mention the exact amount to which she wanted the minimum wage raised in her remarks on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>CONTEXT<br \/>\nBoth Trump and Harris have in recent weeks made economic pledges to woo voters. Harris has said she will aim to pass a middle class tax cut, while Trump has advocated cutting taxes on overtime pay. Both candidates have supported eliminating taxes on tips.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/kamala-harris-says-us-must-raise-federal-minimum-wage-2024-10-21\/\">Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/kamala-harris-labels-current-federal-minimum-wage-as-poverty-pay\/\">Kamala Harris labels current federal minimum wage as \u2018poverty\u2019 pay<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[13650,4773,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-134796","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-kamala-harris","tag-minimum-wage","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134796","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134796"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134796\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134796"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134796"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134796"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
