That's a federal minimum wage that won't apply to businesses that don't have federal contracts.

Do you have a reference for this? I'd like to believe this, but I also know the Federal government will exert tremendous pressure on the states to up their min. wage.
Small businesses around the country are really stressing right now, including our own. At a minimum, we'd probably have to let at least one person go. It is a shame because we actually hired 4 people since covid started.

That is not true.

From the department of labor website:

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and youth employment standards affecting employees in the private sector and in Federal, State, and local governments.
