This week, CT Speaker of the House Christopher Donovan (D-Meriden) proposed an increase in our state’s minimum wage from $8.25 an hour to $9.00 an hour this year, $9.75 per hour next year and then to be indexed in the years following.
The indexing proposal would automatically adjust the minimum wage annually to keep pace with the rising cost of living. Presently nine states index their minimum wages.
Connecticut last raised its minimum wage from $8.00 per hour to $8.25 per hour in January 2010.
