Santa Fe's minimum wage to raise to $9.50 next year

Santa Fe's City Council rejected a proposal by Councilor David Pfeffer to postpone the scheduled increase for at least six months last Wednesday. Santa Fe's minimum wage will rise to $9.50 an hour on Jan. 1. The minimum wage in the city is $4.35 above the state's minimum wage.

Councilors voted 7-1 to let the $9.50 an hour wage go into effect. However, a council vote is required on the next increase, to $10.50 in 2008.

More than 60 people support he city's minimum wage raise while 5 prefer to postpone the increase.
