The state’s minimum wage is set to go up again on January 1st . Minimum wage is adjusted every year, measured by change in the Consumer Price Index from the U.S. Department of Labor.
Initiated Measure 18, which was a ballot measure in 2014, states the wage will be adjusted annually and never be decreased.
