Minimum Wage By State And 2021 Increases

[Donkees]

In 2021, more than twenty states will increase their minimum wages for workers. Most of these changes are effective January 1, 2021, though states including Connecticut, Nevada and Oregon will see increases later in the year. Florida will join them in September, thanks to a ballot measure passed on Election Day 2020.

To ensure your organization is aware of the latest minimum wage requirements, Paycor has created a breakdown by state.

1. If they could pay you less, they would.

$15 is a livable wage, everywhere except Coastal California and NYC, Hawaii, maybe a few other areas. Manchin doesn't want his constituents to make $15. He wants them to make $11, which is still less than $2000 a month.

Seems to me Manchin can look to the Seattle example, and split the difference. $13.50.
Then let it rise to $15 over the next four years. A rising tide lifts all boats.

Fun fact: dithering over 50¢ an hour, or $1000 a year when income from all those productivity gains the last 30+years went straight to the 1%.

Biden needs to return to Clinton era tax rates, or better yet, Reagan era rates, and impose a wealth surtax on billionaires.

We have the money for health care, UBI, education, just not the right priorities or the political willpower.

2. My state (NH) is a disgrace

We are at Federal $7.25 even though McDonald's offers $11.00 0n their billboards. Disgusting.

3. Revealing map. The states with no change are likely the ones that need it most. nt
