University of Iowa raises minimum wage for student workers
The University of Iowa increased its minimum wage by 95 cents to 8.20 per hour on November 1 to stay competitive for student and temporary staff. The move aligns with Johnson County's plan to reach 10.10 by 2017, a rule the county may defend in court. University officials stress staff pay rules may follow state guidelines, with no final decision on future county-mandated hikes.
