Minimum wage increase puts Arizona near top in national rank
Advocates say more increases needed

Arizona’s $12-an-hour minimum wage as of Jan. 1, 2020, is one of the highest in the country , but still well shy of the $15-an-hour “living wage” that some advocates are pushing for, as in this 2013 file photo from New York. Business officials call mandated minimums counter-productive. (Photo by Michael Fleshman)
