New Jersey's Minimum Wage Increases Jan. 1, 2023 | Raritan Bay ... - TAPinto.net

NEW JERSEY -- New Jersey's minimum wage increased to $14.13 an hour on Jan. 1, 2023.

“As we usher in the New Year, we also welcome New Jersey’s minimum wage rising over a dollar to $14.13 an hour," said NJ Assembly Speaker Cfraig Coughlin (NJ, LD-19) . "My foundational belief remains that no family should have to choose between keeping the lights on and putting food on the table."

Moving families towards $15 an hour was a monumental accomplishment for the working people of our state. With the sixth highest minimum wage in the nation, I am proud of the action we have taken to incrementally raise the floor and secure the fair, livable wage all New Jerseyans deserve to be able to meet their basic needs," he added. “By advancing policy to strengthen New Jersey families, business resilience, and people’s overall well-being, the Legislature will continue the fight for fair and equitable economic opportunity.”
