In the United States, the federal minimum wage has been $7.50 an hour for about 14 years, marking the longest period without an increase since the base salary was created in 1938.
However, 30 states, including California, Florida, and New York, as well as the District of Columbia, have adopted wages above the federal minimum.
Some of these states have legislation that establishes automatic increases at the beginning of the year, while others link the increases to salaries in relation to changes in the cost of living and inflation.
That is why in 2024, workers in several states will see an increase in their hourly minimum wage.
Here are the states where the minimum wage will increase next year:
These states are expected to have an increase next year either starting January 1, 2024; in July of next year, as in the case of Oregon; or in September, as required by law in Florida.
California will increase its minimum wage to $16 per hour effective January 1, 2024. Connecticut will base its increase on for next year in the cost of living.
In Delaware, the minimum wage will rise to $13.25 in January 2024. Meanwhile, in Florida, it will increase to $12 on September 30 and to $13 in September 2024. In Hawaii and Illinois it will rise to $14 in January 2024.
