While workers across many jurisdictions have already seen minimum wage increases with the start of the year, thousands more across over a dozen cities and states will see a pay bump heading into July as several laws take effect.
Nearly two dozen states, cities and local municipalities will see some form of a minimum wage hike go into effect July 1, according to a report by the worker advocacy group National Employment Law Project.
Jan. 1, 2025 marked a popular day for pay increases across the U.S., as 21 states and 48 cities raised their minimum wage rates. In total, 88 jurisdictions across 23 states were set to see minimum wage hikes by the end of 2025, the report said.
Some of these July 1 increases pertain only to certain sectors, like California's wage hike for health care sector workers, or are part of a multi-step plan, like in Alaska, where wages will increase each year until reaching $15 an hour by 2027.
It's estimated more than 880,000 workers in Alaska, Oregon and Washington, D.C. will start earning a higher minimum wage starting July 1, according to a new report by economic policy think tank Economic Policy Institute.
Here's where the increases are slated to take effect beginning July 1, 2025.
