In some cities that have leeway to set higher rates, low-wage workers earn even more. Berkeley, Calif.’s minimum wage, for example, is set to become $16.07 an hour this week.

COL in Berkeley is about 40% higher than US average.

Twenty-one states had minimum wage increases or cost of living adjustments at the beginning of 2020.


It's they way it should be. Individual states should be dictating what their min. wage(if you're going to impose one) should be and not some arbitrary number dictated by the feds. What's good for California may not be for North Dakota. What's so hard to understand about that?

I think the whole argument for increasing minimum wage is that prices and inflation have already increased, so wages should go up accordingly.

Wages do go up. That is part of a market economy.

Minimum wage shouldn't change, though.

Does nothing. Inflation and prices will increase to meet the new wages. It all evens out.


But it does it hurt the people on fixed wages like teachers and retirees.
