Maryland and New Jersey will be the first states to see these hikes, with workers there expected to make at least $15 per hour. However, the minimum wage in places like Westchester, Long Island, and New York will increase to $16 per hour.
Some tiny towns have set minimum wages. Tukwila in Seattle, for example, will pay its employees $20.29 per hour starting in January, making it the highest minimum salary in the country.
For their part, workers in Washington will receive pay increases of up to $16.80 per hour. For their part, Hawaii has seen the most improvement in the nation, with workers making between $14 and $16 per hour.
Not all of the rises will be flat, but depending on the business, some parts of the nation will see improvements. For example, workers in the fast food industry will begin collecting $20. The current season began in April. Employees in the health industry will begin making between $18 and $23 per hour in June, depending on their role.
