Answer: yes but not all the time

Explanation:House votes to increase federal minimum wage to $15 per hour. ... It's the first time Congress has acted to increase the federal minimum wage in more than 10 years. The legislation approved today would increase the federal minimum wage gradually from its current rate of $7.25 an hour to $15 an hour by 2025.
