Amazon Calls for Congress to Double the Minimum Wage to $15

Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is calling on Congress to pass the Raise the Wage Act and more than double the minimum wage. Because the e-commerce giant increased the minimum starting pay for its employees to $15 per hour back in 2018, it believes that's the least "anyone in the U.S. should earn for an hour of labor." It says in most parts of the country, the starting pay is actually above $15 per hour.
