It established a 25-cent minimum wage (about $4 today) and marked the first time employers were legally required to pay workers overtime for certain hourly jobs).

The latter figure is one indicator of the gap between a nation's lowest earners and those who earn roughly at the midpoint of the spectrum. Using that measure, the U.S. minimum wage is less than 40 percent of its median full-time wage, showing a significant degree of economic inequality.

Referred to by President Franklin D. Roosevelt as \"the most far-reaching, farsighted program for the benefit of workers every adopted in this or any other country,\" the law hinged on the federal government's authority to regulate interstate commerce. It established a 25-cent minimum wage (about $4 today) and marked the first time employers were legally required to pay workers overtime for certain hourly jobs).

Using that measure, the U.S. minimum wage is less than 40 percent of its median full-time wage, showing a significant degree of economic inequality.
