minimum wage increase

The government says the country’s lowest paid workers should get a rise in line with the CPI indicator, which went up 3.4 percent in the 12 months to January.

Fast-food workers rallied at a church and testified before Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s wage board Monday, demanding a pay increase to $15 an hour.

Chipotle recently said they' plan to expand worker benefits like paid sick leave to all their staff. Do other major restaurant chains do the same?

As Walmart hopes to improve its reputation, America’s largest employer’s move may signify a big change for other businesses that pay bottom dollar.

LOS ANGELES—On Tuesday members of the Los Angeles City Council voted to draft an ordinance raising the minimum wage from $9 to $13.25 by 2017. This supports L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti’s plan, which he has been pushing since Labor Day this year.

Study finds that 5 or 6 million low-wage workers would be raised out of poverty by raising the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour.

Facing fall re-election campaigns and an increasingly volatile political climate, state lawmakers are expected to adjourn their 2014 session without voting on high-profile issues including medical marijuana, public campaign financing, and a minimum wage increase.
