New Statewide Minimum-Wage Rates Effective January 1, 2023

The new year brings new beginnings – and new statewide minimum-wage rates. Effective January 1, 2023, Minnesota's minimum-wage rates increased from $10.33 to $10.59 an hour for large employers and from $8.42 to $8.63 an hour for other state minimum wages. Click here for more information about the new minimum-wage rates.

And remember: Minnesota employers are required by law to display five workplace posters - including the new minimum-wage poster - in a location where employees can easily see them. The posters are available to print or order on the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry website.

Check Out The MN Chamber's 2023 Business Benchmarks Report

In 1973, Minnesota was recognized for outperforming other states: economic growth was above average and personal incomes were significantly increasing. But 1973 is now a long time ago - and past achievements do not guarantee future success. While Minnesota has a highly diverse industry base, a talented and hardworking workforce, beautiful natural resources, and high innovation, there are ways in which Minnesota no longer beats the competition. The Minnesota Chamber of Commerce's 2023 Business Benchmarks report goes beyond the analysis of where Minnesota stands in economic categories. This year, it compares Minnesota to other states that are outpacing us.
