Fast food workers, like single mother TiAnna Yeldell, struggle with low wages and long hours under the unchanged $7.25 minimum wage.

Fast food workers, mostly women supporting families, struggle with low wages, unpredictable hours, and limited benefits. TiAnna Yeldell, a single mother in Houston, works 80-hour weeks at two jobs, earning less than $10 an hour at Pizza Hut. The federal minimum wage is $7.25, unchanged since 2009, despite President Trump acknowledging it is "very low." In Texas, where Yeldell lives, the minimum wage remains at the federal floor, making it difficult for workers to support their families.
