Staff Reports

Florida’s minimum wage saw the largest increase in its history on September 30, from $8.65 to $10 per hour.

Moving forward, the minimum hourly wage will increase by $1 each year until it reaches $15 by September 30, 2026.

     Voters approved a constitutional amendment last November to ultimately increase the minimum wage to $15 per hour using a tiered process that would incrementally get there by 2026.
