Did you know on January 1st this year the minimum wage increased in over 20 states?
This is a record breaking number that is anticipated to increase by the end of 2022 according to The National Employment Law Project. This increase has already gone into effect in some states such as California and New York who have raised their minimum wage to $15. Other states such as Florida, Oregon, Nevada and Connecticut are anticipated to follow suit.
While the minimum wage is increasing in some states, the federal wage floor is still stuck at $7.25 (which it has been since 2009) meaning the continued fight for higher wages will fall to state and local governments.
