Good news for you minimum wagers!

Thanks to the cost-of-living adjustment built into Washington’s minimum wage, you will receive $7.93/hour next year ^[1] — a bump-up of 30 cents.

Of course, you are still making minimum wage. On the other hand, you’re nearly $3/hour better than the federal rate of $5.15, which is just ridiculous to me, since $5.15 won’t buy a month’s worth of ramen anymore.
