With all the talk about new pro-labor initiatives, it’s getting harder and harder to keep track of everything. As a leader in restaurant analytics, Avero has made your life easier by simplifying some of the biggest changes by region, many of which have resulted from a year of workers across several industries protesting for higher wages and better benefits.
- California: Raising the minimum wage from $8.00 to $10.00, which will have big impacts across many industries but especially hospitality, which employs 11% of the state’s work force.
- D.C./Maryland: Raising the minimum wage to $11.50 by 2016.
- New Jersey: Raising the minimum wage from $7.25 to $8.25, which is predicted to help improve the quality of living, on January 1, 2014. This will put New jersey into a group with 19 other states whose minimum wage exceeds that of the federal minimum wage.
- New York & Connecticut: Raising the minimum wage to $9.00 over the next several years.
- Washington State: Raising the minimum wage of airport-related business (including hotels and nearby restaurants) from $9.19 to $15.00 on January 1, 2014 to help boost the local economy.
