GREAT FALLS — Montana’s minimum wage will increase by 35 cents per hour on January 1, 2024, or about 3.6 percent.
The current minimum wage of $9.95 per hour will increase to $10.30 an hour, according to the Montana Department of Labor & Industry.
The increase follows last year’s 75 cents-per-hour increase, which was the largest in more than a decade.
In 2006, Montana voters approved Initiative 151, which increased the minimum wage by $1 and instituted an annual adjustment to account for inflation.
An estimated 19,00 people in Montana - just more than 4 percent of the population - are paid the minimum wage.
The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour.
