2009 Oregon Minimum Wage
How can I estimate Oregon’s next minimum wage increase and will it be effective January 1, 2009?
The Oregon minimum wage increases each year based on the cost of living. The change is effective on January 1 each year, including 2009.
The increase is announced by the Labor Commissioner by September 30 each year. It is based on the Consumer Price Index, or CPI, for the 12-month period ending in August. So the 2009 increase won’t be announced until September, 2008.
Here’s the memo announcing the increase for 2008 (or see it at: http://www.oregon.gov/BOLI/2008_MinWage_Determ.pdf)
While it’s impossible to know what the 2009 increase will be, it’s not likely to be more than the increase last year, which was 15 cents. The state’s minimum wage is currently $7.95 per hour.
