Nebraska Minimum Wage Increase: Starting January 2025

Starting January 1, 2025, Nebraska’s minimum wage will increase from $12.00 to $13.50 per hour. This change is part of the state’s gradual effort to reach a $15 minimum wage by 2026, providing better financial stability for workers across various industries. The increase will help employees manage rising living expenses and support local economic growth, ensuring wages remain more aligned with the cost of living as the state moves forward with its multi-year wage adjustment plan.
