On Jan. 1, 2012, minimum-wage workers in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Montana, Ohio, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington will all see an increase in their paychecks.

Minimum wage going up by an average of $0.30/hour in 8 states

I know at least one person this affects, so

Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Montana, Ohio, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington....

WHY NOT NH?

Vermont is apparently cool enough to get an increase :/

Oh well... at least my girlfriend will be happy.

In Canada, where I live, the political figures are discussing about raising the minimum wage up to $9.50 (per hour) or so, which is a much more better improvement than the original $6.75 (per hour).

Glad to see the North America economy for minimum wage jobs is improving!

I think the minimum wage here is either $8.25 or $8.50.

Skimmed through financial aid guide sent to me from AAU.

Minimum wage in California is almost ten dollars an hour.

Why couldn't this have happened back when I was making $5.15 an hour?

8.80 USD here in Oregon. \o/ Neato. Too bad family business isn't required to pay shit.

Though last I recall it was at 10-something, I guess I was reading old data at the time or wrong data.

I'm either totally behind in times or my teacher mistook the news.
HEY. That's great, though, more money to us! That is, when I get a job sooner or later.
