Valerie Ferrier contributed the article "U.S. - New Year’s Resolutions: Upcoming Increases to Minimum Wage in Many U.S. States" to Ius Laboris' The Word.
The article states, "The US federal minimum wage has remained steady at USD 7.25 since 2009. Many states simply adopt the federal rate. However, in response to a national effort to provide gradual increases for hourly workers to USD 15.00 per hour, beginning on 31 December 2018, many US states will increase their minimum wage."
