Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, with members of the City Council and community leaders in attendance, signed into law an ordinance that will slowly increase the minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2020 at Martin Luther King Jr. Park in Los Angeles, on Saturday, June 13, 2015. It makes the Los Angeles the largest city in the U.S. to gradually raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour.
With the law, Los Angeles minimum wage will increase gradually:
July 2016 - from $9 to $10.50
Then yearly increase of $12 (2017), $13.25 (2018), $14.25 (2019)and $15 (2020).
Small businesses and nonprofits organization will have an extra year to phase in the increases.
It's definitely interesting to see this kind of thing go into effect. This has been a huge thing for people to debate over the years, and it seems like the minimum wage is almost bound to go up with these changes happening. Hopefully this will help people to be able to live a good life and make it easier to get the benefits they need.
