Living Wage
The Right to a Living Wage
$15 an hour is no longer a sufficient minimum wage for New Yorkers. As the cost of living goes up, so should the minimum wage. In order to keep up with inflation and the rising cost of living, in 2021, the minimum wage is for New York City should be $21.77. We'll fight to raise the minimum wage so that it's level with the cost of living and continues to increase as does the living wage does. No one should ever have to decide between paying rent or buying food.
