Raising the federal minimum wage to $10 per hour in 2010 is the latest campaign by Let Justice Roll, a national coalition of religious leaders, community activists, and business organizations. The federal minimum wage--enacted in 1938--increased to $6.55 per hour last July and is scheduled to increase to $7.25 on July 24.
