Minimum wage increases go into effect in these 22 states (chainstoreage.com)

The new year brought with it minimum wage increases in more than 20 states — with more to come later in the year.

Higher minimum wages took effect on Jan. 1 in 22 states (see list at end of article). The hikes come as the federal minimum wage remains unchanged since 2009, at $7.25 an hour.

With the new wage hikes, employees in seven states — California, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Washington — along with Washington, D.C. and 41 cities and counties will be guaranteed baseline pay of $15.00 or more an hour. (Some cities and counties set their own minimum wages.)

At the same time, 20 states — primary located in the South and parts of the Midwest — will continue to have a legal minimum wage of $7.25 in 2024.
