This is going around again, so here's some important context to understand the number. The $12,366 does come from an official source (US Current Population Survey) but is almost certainly incorrect. A better source (American Community Survey) puts the increase at $213. #mepolitcshttps://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/1320440490270040065 …

Yes - I'm not sure that had a huge impact on the median household income. Minimum wage increases tend to impact the lowest earners most. Might be some small impact on the median.

It's a huge difference. We have *a lot* of folks making at or barely above minimum wage in Maine. It's painfully apparent in family law. 2 full time minimum wage earners in a household... 2016 = $31,200 2017 = $37,440 2018 = $41,600 2019 = $45,760 2020 = $49,920 2021 = $50,544
