minimum wage advocacy groups

Minimum wage advocacy groups are organizations that work to increase the legal minimum wage, which is the lowest pay that employers can legally offer their workers. These groups argue that raising the minimum wage can improve the standard of living for low-income workers, reduce poverty, and stimulate the economy. They often focus on issues like wage inequality and the cost of living, aiming to ensure that all workers earn enough to cover basic needs. By campaigning for higher wages, these groups seek to create a fairer and more equitable job market.
