OREGON CITY, Ore. (KOIN) â The minimum wage for most of Oregon will gradually go up to $14 by 2022. But the process of raising wages in the state will begin Friday with a jump to $9.75 for workers in urban areas. Wages will go up 25 cents in rural counties, from $9.25 to $9.50, and 50 cents in Portland, from $9.25 to $9.75. Some small business owners tell KOIN 6 News the cost of paying employees under the stateâs new minimum wage law will likely be passed on to customers over time.
