    The increases will boost the baseline pay to at least $16 an hour in three states: California, New York, and Washington. In 22 states.

    Not enough for those high-cost cities.

    I just heard on the radio this morning that a newly elected South American president raised the baseline to a 2%. This percent means $460 a month!
