The law would also provide New York State workers with paid family leave. In New York City itself, a $15-an-hour minimum wage is expected no later than the end of 2018, and in some prosperous suburbs by the end of 2021.
In the rest of the state, the minimum wage will rise only to 12,5 dollars per hour by 2020. This is due to inflation and other economic indicators, writes Pix 11.
According to the law, wages in California will grow gradually: in 2017, it will increase to $ 10,50, in 2018, to $ 11, after that it will increase by $ 1 per year and in 2022 will reach the declared $ 15. The increase will boost wage growth for about 6,5 million California residents, or 43% of the state workforce пишет Los Angeles Times.
