Minimum wages will rise in more than 20 cities, states in July

Minimum wages will increase in over 20 cities and states in July 2024, including Alaska ($14/hour), Oregon (up to $16.80/hour), and California, where healthcare workers in large hospitals face higher minimums. Oklahoma voters rejected a proposal to raise the state’s minimum wage to $15/hour by 2029, while advocates and critics debate the economic impacts of wage hikes.
