LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan’s current minimum wage will rise 20% by the end of February thanks to a recent state Supreme Court decision. The state says the current $10.33 minimum wage will increase to $10.56 on Jan. 1, then to $12.48 on Feb. 21. It will rise each year and reach nearly $15 an hour in early 2028. The state released the schedule following a summer ruling by the Michigan Supreme Court. The court reinstated changes sought by advocates for low-wage workers seeking a higher minimum wages and changes to sick leave laws.
