Issue Position: Raising the Minimum Wage

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2018
Issues: Employment and Affirmative Action

While Connecticut has one of the nation's strongest minimum wage laws, too many hard-working local families still struggle. Connecticut must raise the minimum wage to $15/hour, linked to the consumer price index, to make future increases fair to both employees and their employers. A higher minimum wage would give families security and customers more purchasing power, lifting up everyone, including both working families and businesses.
