The Minimum Wage Act aimed to solve the issue of poverty and pitiful wages in the United States. This program raised minimum wage from $1.25 to $1.40 in 1967, then raised it to $1.60 in 1968.

The major concern with this program was the increase in unemployment among teens and other "inferior" workers, which proved to be true.
