Colorado’s minimum wage will rise 28 cents — from $7.36 per hour to $7.64 per hour — on Jan. 1.
The increase is directed by a 2006 constitutional amendment that provides annual cost-of-living adjustments to the minimum wage. The state’s minimum wage for workers who are tipped will go up from $4.34 an hour to $4.62 an hour.
The wage increase is the largest since the amendment went into effect. Each January, the rate has increased except in 2010 when it decreased by four cents to $7.24 per hour.
