(KNSI) – Minnesota’s minimum wage now adjusts annually based on the rate of inflation thanks to a measure passed during the last legislative session.

The state’s Department of Labor and Industry announced Monday the change for next year. All employers will need to pay workers at least $11.13 an hour. There is no longer any leniency for small businesses with under $500,000 in revenue or when paying youth under 18 or those coming into the country on a J-1 visa, also known as an exchange visitor visa.

A training wage for teenagers in effect for 90 days is still allowed. It will rise from $8.85 to $9.08. The bump reflects a 2.6% increase.

Certain municipalities will have minimum wage restrictions above what the state mandates and businesses in those cities must respect those ordinances.
