Minimum Wages Adjusted Across the USA - The National Law Review
On July 1, 2026, new minimum wage rates will take effect in numerous localities nationwide.
Many California employers—especially those in the health care sector—may need to adjust payroll settings, as statutory health care worker wage rates (explained in detail here and here) and many local rates will change at the year’s half-way mark. Plus, one state and several cities and counties beyond the Golden State will likewise raise their general minimum wage. Note that some locations mandate more than one rate, basing wage requirements on employer size, industry, or region. Employers should review these changes, set forth in the chart below, and ensure ongoing compliance.
Alaska employers should be aware that the state adjusts its minimum salary threshold for overtime exemption based on the minimum wage. Accordingly, the salary threshold will increase from $1,040 to $1,120 per week on July 1, 2026.
One more change comes later in the year: Florida’s minimum wage will increase from $14.00 to $15.00 on September 30, 2026.
