Podcast: Why Is This Happening? The Chris Hayes PodcastPublished On: Tue Mar 16 2021
Description: What happens when you raise the minimum wage? The almost decade long push for a federal 15$ minimum wage made new noise in the last few weeks when Democrats tried to include it in the American Relief Act.
