Description

Oh the ignorant boar Washington state... The state’s minimum wage will increase to $13.69 per hour starting Jan. 1, 2021. It’s based on a 1.39 percent increase over the last 12 months in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers. The state minimum wage applies to workers age 16 and older. Under state law, employers can pay 85 percent of the minimum wage to workers ages 14-15. For 2021, the wage for that younger age group will be $11.64 per hour. So $13.69<$15 The new minimum wage legislation passed by Seattle City Council and signed into law by Mayor Murray provides for an increase in the minimum wage in the City of Seattle to $15 an hour, phased in over time, beginning April 2015. Hmmm and where is the place of unrest... Seattle 🤣🤣 Rep. Drew Stokesbary, lead budget writer for House Republicans, said the forecast is one for the books. Nevertheless, he said the forecast is also one piece of good news in a challenging economic context. This might be the single best revenue forecast update in the state’s history. I can’t imagine we have ever had a forecast that said, ‘we now expect to collect $4 billion more than we did 3 months ago.’ But even with that, we are still in a $4 billion hole just for the next 2.5 years. That doesn’t include the subsequent 2 years that we’ll have to begin to balance over as well. Even if you raid the entire rainy day fund, we’re still in the hole by almost $1.5 billion for the upcoming biennium. That is not chump change and still suggests there are going to be some difficult budget choices ahead.” As far as it's #1 status, government contactor is a major employor
