The minimum wage rate in New York is $14.20 per hour as of December 31, 2022. The minimum wage rates differ based on industry and region. The minimum wage will increase each year until it reaches $15.00 per hour
Best part is that since your minimum wage doesn’t change, this idea can be relevant for many generations to come
didn’t it though? It’s like $15 here in portland
States can have their own laws, but the federal minimum wage has been $7.25 for 14 years now.

A big problem because it means a federal worker in NYC gets as much as a federal worker in Mississippi. That it hasn’t changed for 20 years suggests both are underpaid, but the NYC worker has definitely got to get another job.
