The 7.25 rate was set in 1996.
Adjusted for inflation, 7.25 is worth 15 today.
There are thousands and thousands of jobs paying less than 15/hr.
In NC, where I live, the average wage for an entry-level crew member at McDonalds is $12.16, effectively 20% lower than the original purchasing power of the 1996 minimum wage.
