California to Increase Minimum Wage to $17.40 by 2027
California's minimum wage will rise to $17.40 per hour starting January 1, 2027, as announced by Governor Gavin Newsom. This increase positions California's minimum wage as the highest in the country, significantly above the federal minimum wage, which has not changed since 2009. The wage adjustments are tied to inflation, and while some workers already earn more, business groups have raised concerns about the potential economic impact.
