Connecticut Minimum Wage Increase: Starting January 2025

Starting January 2025, Connecticut’s minimum wage will increase from $15.60 to $16.35 per hour. This adjustment reflects the state’s commitment to supporting workers by keeping wages aligned with inflation and rising living costs. Employees in sectors like retail, hospitality, and healthcare will benefit from the increase, helping them better manage essential expenses.

The new wage aims to enhance financial stability for Connecticut’s workforce while encouraging economic growth through increased consumer spending. As the state moves forward with fair pay initiatives, both workers and businesses will benefit from a more balanced and sustainable economic environment.
