Washington's Minimum Wage To Increase

Washington Department of Labor and Industries announced the state's minimum wage will increase from $7.35 to $7.63 an hour beginning Jan. 1, 2006.

This increase is to meet the federal Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, which became the standard for minimum wage annual increasing. The increase is by Initiative 688, which was passed in 1998.

Minimum Wage poster will be updated with the increase of minimum wage. http://www.postersolution.com helps you keep update.


The state's minimum wage has increased from $5.70 to $7.93 since 1998. The 2006 increase is the biggest.
