On February 11, 2019, at 6:30pm, the Pasadena City Council will consider raising the minimum wage in Pasadena to $14.25 per hour starting July 1, 2019, and $15 per hour July 1, 2020. (Sorry for the short notice, I just heard about the agenda date a week ago).
The Pasadena Chamber of Commerce has collected data from our local business community and members about the impacts of the previous increases and how businesses coped with the increased labor costs.
We will compile and present this information to the City Council in advance of the meeting.
Thank you. Your information and input is vital to helping the Chamber provide real information about impacts here in Pasadena.
