New York State's Minimum Wage

As part of the 2016-17 State Budget, Governor Cuomo signed legislation enacting a statewide $15 minimum wage plan that will lift the earnings of more than 2.1 million New Yorkers, in all industries across the state. The Governor’s plan takes the needs of workers and businesses alike into account.
As of December 31, 2016, the first in a series of wage increases will go into effect.  Rates will differ based on region and industry because the increases are calibrated to provide businesses ample time to adjust.
