California’s minimum wage is set to increase again in January

In 2021, California’s minimum wage will be $14 an hour.

That brings it one step closer toward an end goal of $15 an hour for all employers statewide by 2023.

The $14-an-hour minimum wage applies to all employers with 26 or more employees; employers with fewer employees must pay a minimum of $13 an hour for work as of Jan. 1.

Though $14 an hour is the statewide standard, several California municipalities maintain their own minimum wage which is higher, according to the UC Berkeley Labor Center.

Those include, as of Jan. 1:
