Team, in less than a month, on January 1, 2024, New Jersey’s minimum wage will increase to $15.13 an hour! This achievement is monumental and has been a long time coming.

Governor Phil Murphy is proud to have called for a $15/hour minimum wage back in 2015, and when he took office in 2018, he made it a priority to get this done. Working in partnership with the Legislature, he signed a bill in 2019 that would do just that, and now we’re proud to see this goal accomplished.

Keep in mind that when Governor Murphy first took office, New Jersey's minimum wage was only $8.60 an hour. Can you believe that?

By the end of Governor Murphy’s term, the minimum wage could be twice as much as when he started as governor in 2018. We’re not stopping at $15.13 — the minimum wage will continue to grow year after year to accommodate inflation.

Add your name to show your support for the Murphy Administration’s vital work of increasing New Jersey’s minimum wage to keep life affordable for hardworking families.

Thanks for your support,
