The annual August consumer price data index was released on September 13, 2022, showing an 8.3% rise in inflation. This will trigger minimum wage increases in the following states (AZ, ME, MT, OH, SD, VT and WA). Their current minimum wage rates values are:
- AZ-$12.80
- ME-$12.75
- MT-$9.20
- OH-$9.30
- SD-$9.95
- WA-$14.49
- VT-$12.55
It should also be noted that another five states, in addition to those mentioned above – plus D.C. – adjust their wages based on inflation but do not rely exclusively upon the August Consumer Price Index inflation. Those are AK, CO, MN, NY and OR, respectively.
