"New Year Brings Minimum Wage Hikes in Arizona and Minnesota Amid Fresh Legislation"

Starting January 1st, Arizona's minimum wage has risen from $13.85 to $14.35, with a plan to reach $15 by 2025. La Indita's manager, Josue Rivera, supports the increase despite the challenges it poses to his business, acknowledging the need due to rising living costs. To cope with the wage hike and increased food prices, La Indita has slightly raised its prices. Arizona joins 23 other states in raising the minimum wage in 2024.
