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 York's minimum wage value only reflects minimum for upstate New York. See Table 1 for New York City and Suffolk, Nassau, and Westchester minimum wage. Average annual wage increases are for full-time workers.
