@decodedmedia01: State Question 832 has officially failed, leaving Oklahoma’s minimum wage stuck at just $7.25 an hour — the same rate workers have been earning since 2009. SQ 832 would have gradually increased the minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2029 and tied future increases to inflation, giving hundreds of thousands of Oklahomans a chance to keep up with rising costs. (Oklahoma Voice) In this video, we break down what the defeat of SQ 832 means for working families, single parents, young workers, and anyone struggling to afford groceries, rent, utilities, and healthcare. While supporters argued that higher wages would help workers keep up with the cost of living and inject more money into local communities, opponents warned that higher labor costs could hurt businesses and increase prices. (Oklahoma Voice) With voters rejecting the measure, Oklahoma remains at the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, one of the lowest wage floors in the country. For many workers, that means continuing to work harder while falling further behind financially. (Oklahoma Voice) What do you think? Did Oklahoma voters make the right decision, or will the failure of SQ 832 make life even harder for working Oklahomans?

why would you vote to not give yourself a raise? I mean Congress does it all the time but it's always yes

They should reduce the minimum wage down to $3.50 an hour, and the bill would probably pass
