Minimum wage

We are so generous (and humble).

The minimum wage in Maine has increased by over $1 since 2022.

The new "tip wage" will also come into effect in 2023.

2022 brought an 60 cent increase to minimum wage, however, many job openings in Maine are offering more than minimum wage.

Most of the new laws effect employees and employers.

Portland has voted to have a $15 minimum wage for its workers. The initiative was passed last night overwhelmingly on election day.

As of January 1, 2020, the minimum wage in the state of Maine has gone up. But is that really a good thing?

Do you think this change will benefit Mainers?

As with so many issues in Maine, we're a state divided on the minimum wage increase as you can see on social media.
