Governor Cuomo has signed legislation that will increase the minimum wage to $15 in parts of New York, raising the government-mandated wage floor 67 percent above the scheduled 2016 minimum wage of $9.

We built this website to help New Yorkers learn more about what the $15 minimum wage means for them.
