California Adopts Highest Minimum Wage.
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed into law a $1.25 increase in the state minimum wage. The increase will take place in two parts. The first increase will raise the minimum wage from the current $6.75 per hour to $7.50 on January 1, 2007. The second increase of $0.50 will raise the minimum wage to $8.00 per hour on January 1, 2008. It is estimated that these increases will directly affect approximately 1.4 million California workers.
