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. New Jersey increased their adjustment beyond the originally scheduled increase due to price increases. Florida and Hawaii increased their minimum wages in September and October 2022. New York's increase goes into effect 12/31/2022 and only impacts workers outside of New York City, Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester counties. Average annual wage increases are for full-time workers.
