July 5, 2026The raises are part of a 2017 law designed to help the lowest-paid earners keep up with inflation and are linked to the consumer price index, which went up about 2% locally last year.
How much more minimum wage earners get depends on how big the company they work for is.
Workers at small businesses — those with 10 or fewer employees — will get an additional 45 cents per hour, rising to $15.95 an hour.
Mid-size employers will be paying workers an additional 50 cents an hour, up to $16.50 an hour, the largest increase for minimum wage workers this year.
