7. Minimum Wage Might Go Up a Little Bit
Early on, Trump went hard-line conservative and argued adamantly against raising the minimum wage even remotely. In fact, at one point he actually claimed that the current minimum wage of $7.25 an hour was actually too high. That put proponents of a standard $15 minimum wage at something of a loss. Over the course of his campaign however, Trump has warmed up to the idea of raising the minimum wage, going so far as to tell reporters that he’d happily support a $10 an hour standard minimum wage. That would impact way more states than you think, as most states actually pay their employees the national minimum or slightly above. Except Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Mississippi which all somehow get away without having a minimum wage.
