Oregon's minimum wage to increase 25 cents on Jan. 1

Oregon's minimum wage will increase to $7.50 per hour next year. Dan Gardner, commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries announced this minimum wage's 25 cents per-hour raise Friday.

Oregon's minimum wage is the second highest in the nation except Washington state.

The increase was based on a 3.6 percent jump in the consumer price index.

In 2002, Oregon voters approved Ballot Measure 25 that requires the minimum wage increased in line with inflation.
