The United States Federal Minimum Wage has not seen an increase since 2009. Many states and cities believe that too much time has passed since an increase and law makers are taking the matter into their own hands and are implementing increases that they believe are in the best interest of their citizens. Many high cost of living areas are moving toward an eventual $15.00 minimum wage.
The Labor Law Center is tracking states and cities which are expected to increase minimum wages in January 2018. The states and cities we are tracking include:
