Some Area Workers Received A Pay Raise
July 24, 2008
Some of the lowest paid workers in our area got a little raise Thursday.
Many workers in Alabama will got a raise Thursday as the federal hourly minimum wage went from $5.85 to $6.55 per hour. However, the change won’t put more in the pockets of minimum wage workers in Florida.
Florida’s minimum wage is already higher than the federal minimum. Florida’s mininum wage is $6.79 per hour. Florida voters approved a minimum wage admendment in 2004 that requires an annual increase on January 1 to adjust for the annual rate of inflation.
Next year, the federal minimum wage will increase to $7.25 an hour.
