The minimum wage is set to go up in 72 jurisdictions in 2020. The increases will be in 24 states and 48 cities and counties, according to the advocacy group National Employment Law Project.Most of those changes are set to begin on the first day of 2020, though New York's pay raise is set to begin December 31, the NELP reported. A $15 minimum wage started as a slogan.
The bill was preceded by numerous calls for wage raises, notably in 2012 when fast-food workers in New York went on strike. At the time, some workers were only making $7.75 an hour. In 2012, the median wage in New York for fast food workers was $9 an hour, meaning half of all fast-food workers in New York were earning less than $9 an hour.Raising minimum wage could hurt workers, some argueBut opponents of raising the minimum wage say the result could be fewer jobs.
