Living Wage for Federal Contractors Act
To establish a minimum wage for all Federal contractors, and for other purposes.
This bill proposes to set a minimum wage for all workers employed by companies that have contracts with the federal government. It aims to ensure that these workers earn a fair wage for their labor, which can also impact the cost of services provided to the government. The bill is co-sponsored by several Democrats, including Alma Adams, who is the primary sponsor, and Debbie Wasserman Schultz, among others.
This bill would affect workers employed by federal contractors, which means it could impact a wide range of industries and workers across the country. By setting a minimum wage, it would ensure that these workers earn a certain amount per hour, potentially improving their quality of life and economic stability. The exact impact would depend on the specific wage set by the bill if it becomes law.
The bill was introduced on July 2, 2026, and has been referred to two House committees: the Committee on Education and Workforce, and the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. These committees will review the bill, hold hearings if necessary, and decide whether to move it forward for a vote in the House. As of now, it is in the early stages of the legislative process.
