In 2018, Massachusetts set an example for other states and the country by passing a $15 minimum wage. However, $15 has lost significant purchasing power due to the rising cost of food, utilities, rent, and other basic necessities.

And $15 itself is not a full living wage in Massachusetts due to the high and growing cost of living in our commonwealth.

It’s time to raise the minimum wage again.

H.1925/S.1200 would raise the minimum wage to $20 per hour phased in over four years, index the minimum wage to inflation, and make sure that municipal workers are also guaranteed a minimum wage.
