Upcoming Increases to Minimum Wage - 2018
While the last federal minimum wage increase was on July 24, 2009, when it rose from $6.55 to $7.25 per hour, many state and local governments have been increasing the minimum wage on their own – some through legislation or ballot initiatives, and others via adopting indexing provisions that authorize small automatic increases to keep pace with the rising cost of living.
The following chart shows the current minimum wage for non-tipped and tipped employees and the next scheduled increase (if any) for each state, the District of Columbia, and numerous local jurisdictions. It is important to note that the rates reflected are those required to be paid by "large" private-sector employers subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act. Rates that may be paid in certain states by "small employers," as defined by applicable state law, to individuals under a certain age (e.g., youth wage), to a certain classification of employees (e.g., fast food workers) or to employees during a "training" period, are not reflected.
