Los Angeles just may be the city to work in, as it considers to set its minimum wage to over $15 for a certain profession; hit the jump for more!
Hotel employees within Los Angeles, get ready to feel your pockets increase, in just weeks! The city may be required to double its minimum wage to $15.37 for its city hotel employees; and are looking to consider all workers, in a project titled, ‘Raise LA’.
“I’d like to see it through the city of LA,” Councilman Mike Bonin told The Huffington Post. “We know it will improve lives. We know it will bring folks into the middle class. We know it will bring more money into the local economy.”
The specified amount given for the minimum wage change ($15.37) was proposed “to align with what Los Angeles International Airport workers make (before a recent raise) thanks to a 1999 “living wage” law.”
Although the policy has yet to be enacted, it looks very promising as 14, of the 15 council members favor the proposal.
