Minimum wage increase to $12 will benefit 662,000 workers
In response to a multi-year grassroots campaign, Massachusetts lawmakers this year made a significant move toward ensuring workers can earn enough to support their families - by raising the Massachusetts minimum wage from $11 an hour to $15 by 2023. January 2019 will mark the first step in this progression, when the state's minimum wage goes from $11 to $12.
This increase will affect 15 percent of Massachusetts working parents and 19 percent of children in the state, according to a new Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center (MassBudget) analysis.

The increase will give a raise to the majority of food service workers (68 percent) and about a third of workers in human services - which include those who work in child welfare, disability services, and elder services. The increase will boost the wages of more than a third of Hispanic/Latinx workers, 29 percent of Black/African American workers, and 18 percent of White workers.
