The District of Columbia and 30 states in the country have a minimum wage higher than the federal of $7.25 dollars per hour, which has not increased nation-wide since 2009.
Several of these states tie their increases to the cost of living to keep up with inflation, while others have legislation that establishes automatic increases at the beginning or throughout the year.
Some states, including Illinois, are preparing for an increase in the minimum wage next year.
Currently, the standard minimum wage in Illinois is $13 per hour for workers over 18 years of age and $10.50 per hour for workers under 18 years of age.
Tipped workers receive 60% of the state minimum wage or $7.80 per hour for workers 18 years of age and older, and $6.30 per hour for workers under 18 years of age. .
Thanks to legislation passed in 2019, Illinois' minimum wage increases by $1 each year. Starting January 1, 2024, the standard base wage will increase to $14 per hour and $12 for workers under 18 years of age. The state minimum wage for tipped workers will rise to $8.40.
This means that in January 2025, the standard minimum wage will rise to $15 per hour. The wage for young people under 18 who work less than 650 hours per hour will be $13 and $9 for tipped employees.
The Illinois House passes SB1, raising the state's minimum wage to $15/hr by 2025 once @GovPritzker signs it.
It'll be $9.25 by January 2020
$10 by June 2020
