New Bill Would Increase Maryland Minimum Wage To $15 An Hour By 2023

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — People making minimum wage work many different types of jobs. The federal rate is $7.25 per hour, while in Maryland it’s currently $10.10, but a bill in Annapolis would gradually raise it to $15 an hour by 2023.
“A $15 per hour minimum wage would give almost 600,000 working people a raise and help lift them up from poverty,” said Del. Diana Fennell, who is sponsoring the bill.
Supporters, like Ricarra Jones, call it “The Fight For $15.”
