Episode 26
About the Episode
The national minimum wage today is just over $7 an hour. But a provision in a landmark labor law from nearly 90 years ago allows employers to pay certain workers with disabilities less than that. Ali Rogin speaks with Maria Town, president and CEO of the American Association of People with Disabilities, for our series “Disability Reframed.”
