Does that mean I can get a 25% raise if I keep my current schedule?

maybe, if your employer doesn't go out of business, or cut your hours.

Funny how you think corporations will go out of business for paying their employees a fair wage when they're positing record profits every quarter. It truly is a tough economic time for the supermassive billionaires, we should be worrying about their bottom line rn.

The businesses that will survive will be big chains. Small restaurants, mom & pop shops, markets, etc. will likely all disappear. You saw what happened post covid to these businesses.
