New Jersey Minimum Wage Set To Increase
New Jersey is among 23 states raising the minimum wage for 2021.
On Friday, January 1, most workers living in the Garden State will get a raise from $11 to $12 per hour.
The increase is part of a gradual increase in the minimum wage to $15 per hour under legislation signed by Governor Murphy in February 2019.
“New Jersey is on a path to a $15/hr minimum wage- to uplift working families and strengthen our economy,” Murphy shared to Facebook.
