Is it true that the United States federal minimum wage is not automatically adjusted for inflation?
Yes. A reference article on the US minimum wage states the federal rate is set by statute and that linking it to the consumer price index is only advocated, with indexing adopted by Washington State and some cities. A 2023 thesis likewise treats the federal minimum wage as not inflation adjusted.
