A proposed federal $25 minimum wage could cost millions of jobs across the United States, according to economist Rebekah Paxton of the Employment Policies Institute. The proposal would raise the federal minimum wage to $25 per hour by 2031 for large employers and by 2038 for smaller businesses, while also eliminating the federal tip credit. Supporters argue the policy would raise wages for workers, while critics warn it could increase labor costs and lead to significant job losses, particularly in Sun Belt states experiencing rapid population growth.
