The current Connecticut minimum wage of $10.10 per hour is the lowest amount a non-exempt employee in Connecticut can legally be paid for hourly work. Special minimum wage rates, such as the Connecticut waitress minimum wage for tipped employees, may apply to certain workers.
The minimum wage goes up to $10 an hour today in Massachusetts, putting the Bay State up there with California in having one of the highest minimum wages in the country. Under a state law passed in 2014, the minimum wage was set to increase over three years. In 2015, the minimum wage increased to $9 an hour, and in 2017, the minimum wage will increase to $11. According to the left-leaning Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center, the increase in 2016 to $10 an hour will affect 450,000 workers.
