Minnesota’s minimum-wage rates will increase 2.5% more than the current wage in January 2022.
According to the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DIL), Minnesota’s minimum-wage rates will be adjusted for inflation on Jan. 1, 2022, to $10.33 an hour for large employers and $8.42 an hour for other state minimum wages.
The current large-employer minimum wage, $10.08, will increase by 25 cents to $10.33.
