NYS poised for another hike in the minimum wage

New York’s minimum wage is set to increase again on New Year’s Eve. According to the Associated press, Gov. Cuomo’s budget director says several studies show New York’s gradual increase in the minimum wage hasn’t directly caused a loss in jobs. The minimum wage increased to $15 in New York City for all business with over 10 employees last year. Meanwhile, the rest of the state…to include Allegany County, will see an increase from $11.10 to $11.80 per hour beginning next Tuesday.
