In Alaska, Alaskans are voting on a measure to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2027 and peg it to inflation. This would directly affect 16,000 workers, increasing the momentum for better wages and working conditions as the measure would also require employers to provide paid sick leave.
California is also considering Proposition 32, which could raise the minimum wage to $18 an hour by 2026. This reflects the ongoing push for higher wages in a state where labor standards have progressively increased.
