Answer
A federal increase signed by 31 December 2028 remains unlikely; the YES probability is 18%. The articles show a $25 proposal and narrower wage gains, but do not establish a congressional passage or presidential-signature path.
Latest analysis
Current assessment: Federal increase remains unlikely; 18% YES probability. Articles show a $25 proposal and narrower wage gains, but no clear path for congressional passage or presidential signature.
The YES forecast remains 18% with 53% confidence because the $25 proposal shows continued advocacy, while narrower wage gains provide no demonstrated federal enactment path.
Keep the prior 18% YES forecast and 53% confidence: the $25 proposal sustains a legislative possibility, but state and contractor increases do not establish a federal enactment coalition.
Initial forecast assigns an 18% YES probability because the $25 proposal shows federal interest without a documented passage coalition, while concrete reported gains remain state, local, or contractor-specific.
