The Long Beach City Council voted unanimously Aug. 2 to boost the city’s minimum wage for health care workers from $15 to $25 per hour—a 67 percent increase.

The new policy applies to workers from private health care facilities including clinicians, certified nursing assistants, janitors, technicians, and laundry workers.
