florida average minimum wage
The minimum wage is going up in some states and cities, including here in Florida. Currently, it's $8.10 an hour, but in 2018 it will increase to $8.25. Florida law requires the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity to calculate a minimum wage rate each year. The annual calculation is based on the percentage increase in the federal Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers in the South Region for the 12-month period prior to September 1, 2017, according to the DEO.
