New Year Brings Minimum Wage Hikes To 21 States

[634-5789]

The wage floor in California and New York will hit $15 for many workers in 2022. Minimum wages will rise around the country when 2022 arrives, with hikes coming to 21 states and dozens of cities and counties.

The increases are due to cost-of-living adjustments and scheduled raises written into local minimum wage laws. The lack of movement on the federal minimum wage over the last 12 years has led more states and localities to take matters into their own hands.
