The increase wage rates are being adjusted due to inflation.
The Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry says training wage rates of $8.42 an hour, may be paid to employees younger than 20 years-old for the first 90 consecutive days of employment. The youth wage rates of $8.42 an hour may also be paid to employees younger than 18-years-old.
The state minimum-wage rates will not apply to work performed in the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, which have higher minimum-wage rates.
Minnesota's current large-employer minimum wage rate is $10.08 and hour.
