President Obama is scheduled to deliver his fifth State of the Union address tonight, and one of the issues he will address is the minimum wage for the federal contractors as his attempts to increase the nation's minimum wage through legislation have stalled in Congress. The White House has revealed that Obama will issue an executive order to increase the minimum wage for new federal contract workers to $10.10 per hour. The people that this order will cover are all workers employed under future government contracts and some occupations like kitchen and laundry workers on military bases, as well as janitors at federal buildings and construction workers at government building sites. Thank you President Obama !!!.
