Subject: Minimum Wage by State
Below is a state-by-state table, which reflects the current minimum wage, as well as future increases. The ABMA would like to remind you that as the minimum wage increases, employers need to update their required minimum wage posters. Required posters should be clearly displayed somewhere apparent to all employees on a daily basis, such as a break room.
