This question is about minimum wage statistics.
2022 minimum wage statistics focus on how inflation has affected federal minimum wage since 2009. 2009 was the last time the federal minimum wage was raised to $7.25/hour. Since then the purchasing power of that wage has decreased by 37.4%. This is because due to inflation, $7.25 in December 2009 would be the same as $9.96 in December 2022.
