Places where the minimum wage will rise in 2022
Unfortunately, Louisiana is not on this list. And, while city workers and those who work on city contracts will see a modest raise, most workers in New Orleans and other cities in our state will not see a wage increase. However, the continuing trend of higher minimum wages is something to celebrate.
City of New Orleans Workers Win Raises to $15/hr
Yesterday the New Orleans City Council approved a $15.00 per hour minimum wage for all city workers. Congratulations to NOCWOC, and to our partners at StepUp Louisiana, the City’s Firefighters, and all who worked so hard to make this happen. Thanks to the City Council for the unanimous approval to ensure that our City budget will provide livable wages for public sector workers.
