N.Y.ers deserve a real raise: The state minimum wage wage should be increased to $21.25 and then indexed to keep up with inflation

A $21.25 indexed minimum wage would benefit 2.9 million workers across the state with an average annual raise of $3,300, or $63 a week.

Liu: The governor's proposal to index New York’s minimum wage starting at the existing $15: 900,000 New Yorkers would get only an additional $13 weekly.
