This represents an hourly increase of $0.42 over the current Florida minimum wage of $6.79. The rise in the Florida minimum wage is a result of the Florida Minimum Wage Amendment passed by Florida voters in November 2004 which initially set the minimum wage at $6.15 per hour and calls for annual increases tied to the rate of inflation. This minimum wage applies to all employees eligible to receive the federal minimum wage.

The increase has been made in accordance with the Florida Constitution's provision establishing a minimum wage, which provides for an annual cost of living adjustment to be made to the minimum wage on September 30 of every year, to become effective January 1 of the following year.
