(Washington, DC) -- Federal agencies are beginning the process of implementing a 15-dollar an hour minimum wage.  

That effort began Friday ahead of the rule coming into full effect on January 30th. The Office of Personnel Management says 70-thousand workers will be affected by the bump in pay.  

They come from agencies including the Departments of Defense and Agriculture.
