Over 9 million workers to receive wage increases in January 2025 across 21 states

Credited from: CBSNEWS

  • Starting January 1, 2025, over 9 million workers in 21 states will see a rise in their minimum wage.
  • The increases are primarily driven by state laws indexing minimum wage to inflation, impacting 13 states, along with legislation and ballot measures in others.
  • Almost 20% of affected workers live in households below the poverty line, highlighting significant economic struggles.
  • While state-level increases occur, the federal minimum wage remains unchanged at $7.25 since 2009, losing 30% of its purchasing power due to inflation.
  • Specific increases include California’s wage rising to $16.50 and New York’s increasing to $15.50, among others.
