Episode Details

Virginia’s minimum wage is set to rise to $13.75 by January 2027, then $15 by January 2028, with future hikes tied to inflation — a major leap from past rates. After years of stalled efforts, Governor Spanberger signed the bill into law, sparking relief among workers like Samira Brooks, who recalls earning just $9.10 an hour, while business owners worry about costs and customer retention. The phased increase promises long-term change, but its real-world impact remains to be seen.
