Hoyer Statement on National Minimum Wage Day WASHINGTON, DC - House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today on National Minimum Wage Day, which was designated as 10/10 by organizations working to raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10: "On National Minimum Wage Day, I join with workers, businesses, and advocates across the country in renewing the call for Congress to take up and pass the Fair Minimum Wage Act. Increasing the federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour would give 25 million American workers a raise and help boost our economy. While Republicans continue to walk away from America's workers and their employers, House Democrats are fighting to give workers the raise they and our economy need to sustain and grow a strong middle class."
