Minimum wages will rise in more than 20 cities, states in July, but not in Pa.

Minimum wages will increase in over 20 U.S. cities and states starting July 1, including Alaska, Oregon, and California, with some rates reaching $16.80 per hour. Oklahoma voters rejected a proposal to raise the state’s minimum wage to $15 by 2029, while opponents and proponents continue to debate the economic impacts of wage hikes.
