WAGES for workers are rising across various states in the country this year.

While the federal minimum wage isn’t $15 yet - a major campaign promise by President Joe Biden - 21 states hiked pay at the beginning of the month.

The federal wage is the hourly pay that all states must at minimum pay their workers.

The federal minimum wage has stayed flat at $7.25 an hour for more than a decade.

Some states still pay this, while others pay closer to $15 an hour.

Meanwhile, multiple cities in the country including New York City, pay at least $15 an hour.

Also, 70,000 federal workers will see their wages jump from $10.95 to $15 an hour on Sunday.

Moreover, a report by the National Employment Law Project found a total of 81 jurisdictions will raise their minimum wage over the course of 2022.
