Colo. to Lower Min. Wage

by Ross Weber — last modified Jan 05, 2010 09:13 PM

Tied to inflation, min. wage set back for first time.

The state’s Department of Labor and Employment said Tuesday that it planned to lower the minimum wage to $7.24 from $7.28, after an August federal consumer price index report showed that the cost of living had fallen in the state. A public hearing on the issue is set for next month.

Colorado is one of 10 states where the minimum wage is tied to inflation. The others are Arizona, Florida, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Vermont and Washington.
