Federal minimum wage for contractors raised to $17.75/hr. by Biden reduced by Trump to $13.30/hr.

Trump issued Executive Order 14236, “Additional Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions” (90 FR 13037) March 14, which revoked, among other items, Executive Order 14026 of April 27, 2021 “Increasing the Minimum Wage for Federal Contractors”.

Federal minimum wage for contractors raised to $17.75/hr. by Biden has been dropped back down to $13.30/hr.

Wonder how many contractors voted for him?

Minimum wage realistically probably needs to be $35 now and way more in some places.
The corps raising prices on literally everything and these tools would pay less if they could regardless if 99% of us were living in tents?
