(ST PAUL, MINN) – Minimum wage earners in Minnesota are making more money.
Beginning on January 1, Minnesota’s minimum-wage rate was adjusted for inflation to $11.13 an hour for all employers in the state.
“The updates to minimum-wage laws ensure employees earn at least a standard minimum wage regardless of the size of their employer or how old they are, while maintaining the 90-day training wage for employees under age 20,” said Commissioner Nicole Blissenbach, Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry. “The changes will also help minimum-wage workers keep up with inflation to better provide for themselves and their families.”
During the 2024 legislative session, Minnesota’s minimum wage law was revised to eliminate the reduced minimum wages applicable for small employers (defined as annual gross revenues less than $500,000), youth under the age of 18 and J-1 visa workers.
