Original Note:
The note that claims the raise was enacted during the Obama administration misunderstands the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2007, that authorized raising the minimum wage in intervals. The $7.25 raise became effective in 2009, but as a result of the 2007 legislation. https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/minimum-wage/history#:~:text=The%202007%20amendments%20increased%20the,hour%20effective%20July%2024%2C%202009
