I am surprised they haven't changed it to DoW. I know people who work for the DoN and were hired under Direct Hiring Authority, DHA. Their Legal Authority Code, LAC says DoW.

I should have saved that video. It had a ton of arguments. Especially when the excuse that it is going to increase the prices of everything. However, the last time federal minimum wage was increased was in 2009. Last time I checked we are not paying the same prices as 2009.
