By FindLaw Staff
Minimum wage increases took effect in a number of states on January 1st, including California, Massachusetts, Missouri, Ohio, and Oregon. (Check out the current minimum wage in your state, as of January 1, 2008) A number of states increase minimum wage annually under a formula that includes factors such as inflation and the cost of living. In other states, laws passed in 2007 mandate that a specific increase in minimum wage take effect on January 1, 2008. At $8.07 per hour for qualifying workers, Washington is the state with the highest minimum wage in the nation. California joins Massachusetts with the second-highest in the nation at $8.00 per hour.
