New York City Council bill calls for $30 minimum wage by 2030. Here's how it works.
The New York City's minimum wage could climb to $30 per hour in the coming years.
A proposal in the City Council stands to benefit a lot of people, but there has also been significant pushback.
How the bill would work
Wage increase advocates chanted on the steps of City Hall on Tuesday, eager for the introduction of a new bill that takes a phased-in approach to raising the city's current minimum wage of $17 per hour.
The proposed legislation calls for workers at workplaces with more than 500 employees to get $30 per hour by the year 2030.
