Florida votes to raise state’s minimum wage to $15 an hour
Tips
Florida voted Tuesday to gradually hike the state’s minimum wage to $15 per hour, joining a growing list of states and municipalities in taking the step.
The 2020 election ballot initiative garnered the 60% support needed to pass, according to the Associated Press. Florida becomes the eighth state to approve a $15-an-hour minimum wage, and the second most populous to do so.
The measure would increase the state’s current $8.56-an-hour pay floor to $10 next year. For every year after that, the minimum wage would rise by $1 an hour until it hits $15 in 2026.
