Answer:
The Raise the Wage Act of 2021 would help eliminate poverty-level wages by raising the national minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2025. This report finds that the raise is long overdue and would deliver broad benefits to workers and the economy.
The current federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour and has not been raised in over 10 years. A full-time federal minimum wage worker today earns 18% less than what her counterpart earned at the time of the last increase, after adjusting for rising costs of living ($15,080 annually in 2021 versus $18,458 in 2009).
In 1968, a minimum wage worker earned $10.59 per hour in inflation-adjusted terms, 46% more than today’s $7.25 federal minimum wage. The minimum wage today would be over $22 per hour had it tracked productivity increases over the last five decades.
The Raise the Wage Act of 2021, which phases in a $15 minimum wage by 2025, would raise the earnings of 32 million workers, or 21% of the workforce. Affected workers include those who would see their wages rise as the new minimum wage rate exceeds their current hourly pay and those who have a wage rate just above the new minimum wage who would receive a raise as employer pay scales are adjusted upward to reflect the new minimum wage.
$15 minimum wage by 2025 would raise the wages of at least 19 million essential and front-line workers. Essential and front-line workers constitute more than 60% of all workers who would see a pay increase.

Answer:
In 'Lost in the Woods' Tarshis desribes weather by describing the atmosphere around, for instance, the weather was rainy which can be known through 'muddy trail.'
Explanation:
'Lost in the Woods' is a report of two kids who were lost in the woods in 2012.
The article was written by Lauren Tarshis. In her article, instead of directly describing the weather of woods, she describes the atmosphere of the woods.
The weather was rainy and dark. It can be known through 'muddy trail' on which volunteers were slipping over but it was Madee only who was sniffing around the muddy trail to locate the lost girls. When the girls were found, the weather described by Tarshis is dark, when she writes that the only light that shone in the forest were the headlamps that Madee and her owner, Greg, wore.
Yesss???? What do you mean? :(
