Minimum wage set to increase in 15 cities, states despite lawmaker pushback
- Minimum wage increases take effect July 1 in over a dozen U.S. states, cities, and counties including Alaska, Oregon, and Washington, D.C.
- These increases follow local legislation, ballot measures, and inflation adjustments amid a stagnant federal minimum wage of $7.25 since 2009.
- Oregon will raise its wage by 35 cents to $15.05 for 801,700 workers, Alaska by $1.09 to $13.00 impacting 19,400 workers, and D.C. by 45 cents to $17.95 for 62,200 workers.
- EPI estimates average annual wage gains range from $420 in Oregon to $925 in Alaska, with about 58% of beneficiaries being women and significant gains for Black and Hispanic workers.
- These wage increases are intended to reduce economic hardship for employees and their households, yet lawmakers in Congress have not reached agreement on raising the federal minimum wage to $15.
