Notes: “Legislation” indicates that the new rate was established by the legislature. “Ballot measure” indicates the new rate was set by a ballot initiative passed by voters. “Inflation adjustment” indicates that the new rate was established by a formula, reflecting the change in prices over the preceding year. Connecticut increased its minimum June 1. Oregon has three regional minimum wages (Portland Urband Growth Boundary, nonurban counties, and remainder of the state). The 2023 minimum wage value reflects the value for the remainder of the state, but the impacts account for different increases per region. Washington D.C's regular minimum wage increases due to an inflation adjustment, but its tipped minimum increases because of a ballot measure. Average annual wage increases are for full-time workers.
