Oregon’s Minimum Wage Increases
July brings
fourth increase
since 2016
Minimum wage workers in Or-
egon got a raise effective with the
turn of the calendar last week.
“Minimum wage increases
help make sure that hardworking
Oregon families can afford the es-
sentials in our state,” says Labor
Commissioner Val Hoyle. “If you
make minimum wage, you should
check your paycheck to make sure
you get your raise.”
As of July 1, 2020 Oregon min-
imum wages are $13.25 per hour
for the Portland metro area; $12
per hour for less populated areas
of the state and $11.50 per hour
for non-urban counties.
These rate increases are the
fourth yearly increases since
2016. Minimum wage rates will
continue to increase each year un-
til 2023, at which point they will
be indexed to inflation based on
Consumer Price Index, a figure
published by the U.S Bureau of
Labor Statistics.

it is now a full $4.25 less per hour
than Oregon’s lowest minimum
wage. Oregon workers must be
paid Oregon minimum wage, with
few exceptions.

the correct minimum wage or
