As for minimum wages in 2018...the three-year $1 increase per year ended in 2017 setting the minimum wage at $11 per hour, There is no mandatory increase this year. However, we can expect that a public referendum will make the ballot in 2018, asking for a new three-year plan beginning in 2019 that would increase the minimum wage $1 per year, and ending at $15 per year in 2021.
