Denver’s local minimum wage for workers will increase to $18.29 an hour starting Jan. 1, up from $17.29, city officials announced Friday morning.
Denver City Council members in November 2019 unanimously passed the local minimum wage ordinance. City officials say it has helped bring stability for workers who keep the city running and their families who otherwise might fall behind due to rising costs of living and inflation.
Compared with other U.S. cities, Denver’s new local minimum wage will rank relatively high — unless other cities raise their wages. In Seattle this year, the minimum has been $18.69 and in West Hollywood workers earn a minimum of $19.08. The local minimum wage has been $18.07 in San Francisco, $16 in New York City, and $16.80 in Chicago, according to city websites.The federal minimum wage has been $7.
