Minnesota’s minimum-wage rates will be adjusted for inflation on January 1, 2024, to $10.85 an hour for large employers and $8.85 an hour for other state minimum wages.
“Increasing minimum-wage rates gives the lowest-wage workers in Minnesota more earning power as they work hard to support themselves and their families,” said Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry Commissioner Nicole Blissenbach.

The youth wage rate, $8.85 an hour, may be paid to employees younger than 18 years of age.
