In 2016, President Obama enacted a new overtime rule aimed at expanding eligibility for overtime pay to millions of workers, raising the salary threshold to qualify. This was seen as a significant step towards supporting the middle class, as it sought to address wage stagnation and ensure fair compensation for long hours worked. However, critics argued that while the rule was welcomed, it was only a minor intervention in the broader issue of income inequality and economic challenges faced by the middle class.
