The federal minimum wage is the lowest wage at which employers may pay their employees. Since July 24, 2009, the U.S. federal minimum wage has been set at $7.25 per hour, but in debating this case, wages should be determined by supply and demand for those services, products, and economic factors. In 2014 President Obama proposed raising the federal minimum wage to $10.10 and tying it to an inflation index. The federal minimum wage applies to all federal employees including those who work on military bases, national parks and veterans working in nursing homes.
