The Minnesota Department of Labor (DPL) announced that Minnesota's minimum-wage rates will be adjusted for inflation in 2023. On Jan. 1, the minimum wage increased to $10.59 an hour for large employers and $8.63 an hour for other state minimum wages.
This is an increase of 26 cents from the previous large-employer minimum wage of $10.33.
Other state minimum wages, including the small-employer, youth and training wages, as well as the summer work travel exchange visitor program wage increased by 21 cents, compared to the previous wage of $8.47. These increases are both 2.5%.
"This increase is designed to help minimum-wage workers keep up with inflation to better provide for themselves and their families," said Nicole Blissenbach, DLI temporary commissioner.
As of Jan. 1, 2023
• Large employers must pay at least $10.59 an hour when the employer's annual gross revenues are $500,000 or more.
