WASHINGTON Without I-1433, minimum wage to rise just 6 cents OLYMPIA— Unless voters ap- prove Initiative 1433 this fall, Washington state’s minimum wage will increase just 6 cents in 2017 to $9.53 an hour, which is less than $20,000 a year for a full-time worker. The state minimum wage has been frozen for nearly two years. Under I-1433, which will appear on the ballot in Washington this fall, the state minimum wage would rise to $11 an hour in 2017 and continue increasing annually until reaching $13.50 an hour in 2020. Thereafter, it would be adjusted annually for in- flation, as it is now. In addition, if I- 1433 is approved, all workers in Washington state would be able to earn paid sick leave. Since voters overwhelmingly approved Initiative 688 in 1998, the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries has calculated the state’s minimum wage each year in September for the following year. The 6-cent change announced last month reflects a 0.7 percent in- crease in the federal Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earn- ers and Clerical Workers over the last 12 months ending Aug. 31. The increase in the minimum wage is expected to affect nearly 51,000 workers. The minimum wage applies to all jobs, including those in agricul- ture. Workers under 16 can be paid 85 percent of the adult minimum wage, or $8.10 an hour, in 2017. Some jurisdictions have approved local minimum wages that are higher than the state’s, including Seattle, SeaTac, and Tacoma.
