Summary List Placement

Today, two states and Washington, DC are scheduled to increase their minimum wages. Those hikes all come from scheduled incremental increases, a tactic used to increase wages without causing too much economic strain.

Over 200,000 workers will see their paychecks grow, according to an estimate by Ben Zipperer of the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute. Of the workers who will benefit, most are women, according to Zipperer; Black and Hispanic workers will see the largest hikes. 

All of the raises bring the states and city well above the federal minimum of $7.25, which hasn’t changed since 2009.
