Minnesota's Legislature advances a labor policy bill that aims to ensure all workers receive the $10.85/hour state minimum wage. The bill eliminates carve-outs for certain groups, including employees 18 and younger and those hired by small businesses. If passed, they would no longer be subject to the lower $8.85/hour wage. The bill also raises the cap on annual wage adjustments tied to inflation from 2.5% to 5%.
