The State of Washington's minimum wage will increase effective January 1, 2012 from $8.67 to $9.04 per hour, keeping it as the highest minimum wage in the nation.
The wage rate is adjusted annually based on changes in the Consumer Price Index, according the the Department of Labor and Industries.
For most classifications and counties, the prevailing wage rates that must be paid to workers employed on public works construction projects, are higher than the minimum wage.
