Florida’s minimum wage is going up another dollar in September.
The state will increase the minimum wage to $14 an hour, per the constitutional amendment that voters passed in 2020.
According to the law, the minimum wage will be raised by $1 each year until it reaches $15 — which is expected in 2026. After that, wages will be adjusted according to inflation rates.
