Get Ready for Even Higher Food Prices as Minimum Wage Increases in 26 States

Over the weekend, emotion overruled seriousness as the “minimum wage” increased in 26 states.

The failed state of California naturally offers the highest statewide minimum wage at $15 per hour. Some large locations, such as New York City, also have a $15 minimum wage.

Portland’s minimum wage increased to nearly $20 per hour during the COVID pandemic, resulting in increased food prices.

Nearby in similarly left-wing Seattle, businesses with over 500 employees are mandated to pay nearly $17 per hour. Employers with fewer than 500 employees must pay $15.75.
