ST. PAUL, Minn. – To help wage-earners meet rising costs of living, the inflation-triggered Minnesota minimum wage will go up 2.5% in January. The state Labor Department announced that the minimum-wage will be $10.85 an hour at large employers, those with at least $500,000 annual revenue. The new minimum will be $8.85 at for workers at smaller employers, for new hires, and for trainees. “Increasing minimum-wage rates gives the lowest-wage workers in Minnesota more earning power as they work hard to support themselves and their families,” said labor commissioner Nicole Blisenbach. Federal, state and municipal employees are not covered by the same minium wage law and generally earn more.
