Trump administration is America's #1 low wage job creator
When Donald Trump ran for president, he promised to be a workers champion who would deliver better wages for Americas working people.
But 18 months into his first term, President Trump has neither pushed Congress to take legislative action to raise the federal minimum wage - which has been stuck at $7.25 for a decade - nor taken executive action to boost pay for 12.5 million workers who work in private sector jobs.
As a result, Trump is now CEO of Americas top creator of poverty jobs: the U.S. government.
A new study from Good Jobs Nation - Promises Broken #1 - shows that Trumps federal government funds more than 4.5 million jobs in the private sector that pay less than a living wage of $15 per hour. By failing to take action to raise wages, Trump is responsible for more low-wage jobs than our nations largest 20 employers combined, according to our research.
