"Biden Administration Faces Backlash Over New Overtime Rule Changes" The Biden administration is facing growing criticism from lawmakers, business groups, and some labor unions over proposed changes to overtime rules, which could significantly impact millions of American workers. The new regulations, set to take effect later this year, would raise the salary threshold for overtime eligibility from $35,000 to $45,000, a move aimed at expanding protections for low- and middle-income workers. However, opponents argue that the changes will lead to increased costs for employers and potentially harm small businesses. As the administration defends its decision, lawmakers are weighing in with their own proposals to amend or even repeal the new rule, setting the stage for a contentious debate in Washington.
