It won’t be delivered in time to be a holiday gift, but Florida workers who earn the state minimum wage will see a slight increase in their paychecks after Jan. 1. - See more at:
Excellent! This is good news. It's refreshing to hear real people getting real reasonable increases rather than all this garbage in the news where people are demanding $15/hr minimum wages.
I think that's what I was getting paid after two "raises" from my part time job in college that I had for a couple years, lmao. Nice. After going to college in FL and recently moving back, all I have to say is that FL is one weird state.

Had federal minimum wage kept up with inflation, it would be over $12/hour today. $15 isn't *that* crazy. Kindly dispense with the dramatics.
Other than my fast food job in high school and the one factory job I had before I started college (both in the mid '90s), I've never made that little per hour. Pretty pathetic that any state minimum wages are still that low.

A $ .68 increase should be manageable by most businesses, so I fully agree with you.
