The Biden administration has moved to increase the minimum wage for all federal employees to $15 an hour, according to a Jan. 21 release from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM).
The change will boost pay for 67,000 of the total 2.2 million federal employees. Most of those impacted work for the Department of Defense (DOD). Others include the Departments of Agriculture, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs, according to OPM.
