 AN  ACT  to amend the labor law, in relation to raising the minimum wage
   annually by a percentage which is based on inflation;  and  to  repeal
   subdivision 6 of section 652 of the labor law relating thereto
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1. Legislative findings. As New  Yorkers  struggle  with  the
 rapidly  rising  cost of living, their paychecks are not keeping up. The
 state minimum wage has been frozen at $15 in New York City  since  2018.
 In the suburbs of New York City it reached $15 in 2021 and under current
 law will not increase further. And upstate, it is projected to reach $15
 in  a  few  years,  but  will  not increase further after that until the
 legislature acts.
   At the same time, record inflation is eroding the value of the minimum
 wage as workers face rapidly rising prices. For  example,  adjusted  for
 consumer  price  inflation  from  the fourth quarter of 2018 through the
 first quarter of 2022, the purchasing power of New York City's $15 mini-
 mum wage has declined by 13.6% and is now just $12.96. As inflation  has
 remained  high  since  the  second  quarter  of 2021 and is likely to be
 elevated for some time, the value of the minimum wage across New York is
 falling even lower as consumers struggle with the rising cost of  neces-
 sities.  And  even  in  times of more stable price growth, workers still
 lose real wages as the minimum wage stays stagnant.
   Meanwhile, other high-cost cities and states are raising their minimum
 wages well above $15. Thirty-three cities and counties have wages  above

                                                            LBD06653-17-2

 $15  an  hour as of January 2022, and eleven more will pass $15 later in
 2022. Seattle, San Francisco, and five other cities  will  have  minimum
 wages  of  about $17 or higher in 2022. Similarly, California and Hawaii
 are considering raising their minimum wages to $18 statewide.
   New  York must restore the value of the eroded $15 minimum wage in New
 York City, while finally phasing the upstate minimum wage  to  $15,  and
 providing  for automatic annual minimum wage increases in all regions of
 the state.
   "Catching up" New York City's minimum wage  to  its  2018  value  (and
 adjusting  it  for  the  growth in labor productivity) would raise it to
 $20.45 by 2025, based on current projections.
   For adjusting the minimum wage statewide each year, the Department  of
 Labor should use the same formula that it and the Division of the Budget
 used  to  increase New York's upstate minimum wage in 2021. That formula
 was based on a combination of the past year's increase in  the  cost  of
 living  together  with  the  past year's increase in labor productivity.
 This important approach ensures: (1) that workers' wages keep pace  with
 rising consumer prices - a crucial concern right now as workers struggle
 with  the  highest inflation in four decades - and (2) that workers also
 share in the benefits of  productivity  gains  that  their  labor  helps
 produce.
   New  York's  recent  experiences  raising  the  minimum wage show that
 increases have been manageable for employers and that  higher  paychecks
 have  put  money back into local communities, boosting consumer spending
 at neighborhood businesses. With inflation crushing New  York's  working
 families, we cannot afford to wait.
   §  2.  Subdivision  1  of  section 652 of the labor law, as amended by
 section 1 of part K of chapter 54 of the laws of  2016,  is  amended  to
 read as follows:
   1.  Statutory.  Every  employer shall pay to each of its employees for
 each hour worked a wage of not less than:
   $4.25 on and after April 1, 1991,
   $5.15 on and after March 31, 2000,
   $6.00 on and after January 1, 2005,
   $6.75 on and after January 1, 2006,
   $7.15 on and after January 1, 2007,
   $8.00 on and after December 31, 2013,
   $8.75 on and after December 31, 2014,
   $9.00 on and after December 31, 2015, and until December 31, 2016, or,
 if greater, such other wage as may be established by federal law  pursu-
 ant to 29 U.S.C. section 206 or its successors
 or  such  other  wage  as  may  be  established  in  accordance with the
 provisions of this article.
