WASHINGTON — D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser introduced a new minimum wage on Monday during a news conference.
The new minimum wage means increased wages for workers in D.C.
The hourly wage increased to $14 an hour, which is up from the previous $13.25 an hour.
Mayor Bowser also announced that tipped workers will also see their base wage to rise over $4 an hour.
The Fair Shot Minimum Wage Amendment Act was first passed in 2016 and has led to the increase of minimum wage in the District since. Minimum wage will increase to $15 by 2020.
