Michigan Minimum Wage To Remain Unchanged Going Into 2021
You shouldn't expect to see a rise in the minimum wage here in the state of Michigan, going into 2021
The current wage stands at $9.65 an hour.
This partly pertains to the pandemic we are currently in.
Michigan law prohibits minimum wage to be changed when the unemployment rate is above 8.5%, and the current unemployment rate sits at about 8.7%.
Minimum wage will be expected to raise when the unemployment rates improve, according to WILX.
