America’s current federal minimum wage has been $7.25 an hour since 2009, though each state’s minimum wage varies.

During a debate in the 2020 election cycle, Trump noted that he would consider more than doubling that minimum wage to $15 on the condition that such a hike would not hurt small businesses. Though as reported by Venable, Trump did not mention the minimum wage during the 2024 election cycle.

So it remains to be seen what could happen to the minimum wage during his administration.

Trump also aims to revitalize the manufacturing industry. Per NPR, Trump has declared that he would work to remove “regulatory burdens” that keep manufacturing companies from building new factories more quickly. He also stated plans to encourage factories to move from other countries to the U.S. through tax breaks and access to land, per The New York Times.

Elsewhere, he assured working-class voters that he plans to bring back manufacturing jobs by imposing tariffs on imported goods and by lessening the corporate tax rate that domestic manufacturers are required to pay.

During his previous presidential administration, Trump refused to uphold an Obama-era rule that allowed for greater eligibility and access to overtime pay for American workers. Further, at campaign events throughout 2024, Trump noted that he himself as a private-sector employer “hated paying overtime” and preferred to hire more employees than pay overtime.

However, Trump has also stated plans to make overtime exempt from income taxes. Per the Tax Foundation, Trump proposed “a blanket exemption” for overtime income in early September.
