Cuomo to raise state employee minimum wage to 15
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo plans a staged rise of the state worker minimum wage to 15 per hour over six years, affecting about 10,000 employees. Initial 1,000 NYC staff including office assistants custodians and lifeguards will reach 15 by end of 2018, with 9,000 upstate workers to follow by 2021. The move mirrors broader calls for a 15 minimum wage and follows a wage board decision raising fast food wages to 15 in NYC by end 2018 and by 2021 elsewhere.
