"New York's minimum wage is set to increase effective Jan. 1. Starting on that date, the minimum wage statewide will increase by 50 cents an hour. In New York City, Westchester County and on Long Island, it will rise to $17 an hour. In the rest of the state, including the Syracuse area and Upstate New York, it will increase to $16 an hour. That's an increase of about 3% in the Downstate areas and 3.2% in the rest of the state."
"The increases mean an extra $20 a week for a minimum wage earner working a full-time job at 40 hours per week. In Upstate New York, that would translate into pay of $640 a week or about $33,000 a year. Starting in 2027, the minimum wage will increase by a three-year moving average of the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers in the Northeast region, according to the state Labor Department."
Effective Jan. 1, New York's minimum wage will increase by 50 cents statewide. New York City, Westchester County and Long Island will have a $17 hourly minimum; the rest of the state will have $16. The raises equal roughly a 3% increase downstate and 3.2% elsewhere, adding about $20 per week for a full-time, 40-hour worker. In Upstate New York that equals $640 per week or about $33,000 annually. Starting in 2027 the wage will be adjusted annually using a three-year moving average of the Northeast CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers. The law allows freezes if the economy weakens.
