📌Wage growth had slowed to near the pre-pandemic pace
📌Concerns about inflation remain—though unclear if above pre-pandemic levels

It's unacceptable that the lowest-paid US workers, especially the tipped workforce, have waited so long for fair labor protections and wage standards at the federal level. The time for change is now, starting with #yesJulieSu . @CEPRDC #RaiseTheWage #EndTipCredit
Attention Department of State and Treasury Department! You can do it...

If confirmed, Acting Secretary Julie Su could eliminate the tipped minimum wage overnight—rescuing millions from poverty wages. #YesJulieSu #EndTipCredit
