Minimum Wage

New Jersey is raising its minimum wage at the start of 2023 and for the first time in years, it is more than a $1.00.

Until we're in a place where business is good, people are employed, and prices are reasonable, New Jersey should stop raising the minimum wage at its current rate.

Many employees in New Jersey working for minimum wage will soon see a bump in their paychecks.

It's a great boost for working New Jerseyans, but quite the obstacle for the folks who hire them.

Well that was much faster than originally anticipated.

Assemblyman Roy Freiman, D-Somerset, said his bill serves as a "circuit breaker" that presses pause on escalating increases should employment or revenues take a plunge.

If the hike in the minimum wage is going to affect property taxes, one of the first places it could show up is in the school budgets approved this spring.

It could become a cornerstone of his re-election campaign in a few years.

A bill raising New Jersey’s minimum wage to $15 an hour for most workers by 2024 was passed Thursday and will be signed into law Monday.

The $15 minimum wage took many months to negotiate but just two weeks from agreement to approval. The vote on legal marijuana won't come so quickly.

A plan to boost New Jersey’s minimum wage by nearly 70 percent over the next five years cleared its first hurdle by a party-line vote Thursday.

It has been a topic of discussion for months and now it looks like it is finally happening.
