(3)Los Angeles is about to become the largest American city to raise its minimum wage to $ 15 an hour, an increase to be phased in over five years. The wage is more than twice the current minimum rate required by US law. Some business groups, however, say such increases will cost jobs.
Protesters demanding a higher minimum wage have been rallying around the country, from New York to Phoenix.(4)Minimum-wage workers went to Los Angeles City Hall last week as council members considered the wage increase. It was given preliminary approval Wednesday and is expected to pass a final vote June 10.
The measure will raise the minimum wage in regular increases starting next year, to reach $ 15 an hour by 2020. Workers for small businesses and nonprofit organizations will reach the $ 15 mark the following year.
3. What is the current minimum wage required by US law?
4. What happened in Los Angeles City Hall last week?
选项
A、About $ 7 per hour.
B、More than $ 10 per hour.
C、About $ 15 per hour.
D、Fewer than $ 1 per hour.
答案
A
解析
新闻中提到,在未来五年内,洛杉矶计划逐步把最低工资提高到每小时15美元。这一工资是目前美国法律规定的最低工资的两倍多。通过简单计算可知,美国法律规定的最低工资应是大约每小时7美元。
