Washington Minimum Wage to Rise to $9.04 an Hour on Jan. 1

October 1, 2011 31 view(s)

Following one day after Oregon raised its minimum wage, Washington announced it was hiking its minimum hourly rate to $9.04 to adjust for inflation as tracked by the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The rate, up from the current $8.67, is effective Jan. 1, 2012.

Washington and Oregon ($8.80 in 2012) have the two highest state minimum wages in the nation.
