MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - Vermont's minimum wage goes up 14 cents an hour, effective New Year's Day, to $8.60 per hour.
That's according to a state law that says the wage will go up each year by either 5 percent or an amount that matches the Consumer Price Index, whichever is less.
The minimum wage for workers in places like hotels and restaurants, who rely on tips for a significant part of their income, goes from $4.10 to $4.17.
Such increases often trigger raises for workers making just above the minimum wage, as well.
