As the nation remains uncertain about which party will control Congress, those who work in three locales across the nation can be sure of a raise, thanks to Tuesday’s election results.
In those three places, voters decided to hike the minimum wage. Following are the two states and one district where you may soon earn more money at your job.
Nebraska
Nebraska voters passed a measure, known as Initiative 433, to raise the state minimum wage by $1.50 each year from 2023 through 2026. At that point, the minimum wage will top out at $15.
After that, the wage will be adjusted for inflation.
Nevada
Nevada voters appear to have approved a hike of the state minimum wage to $12 an hour, effective in July 2024. That is an increase of as much as $1.50.
