But it won’t fully kick in until 2020
The Los Angeles City Council has voted to ramp up the city’s minimum wage to $15 an hour from $9 over the next five years.
The urban center is the largest among several cities—including Seattle, San Francisco, and Oakland, California—that have moved to increase pay for their lowest-earning workers. Once signed by the mayor, the L.A. law could affect as many as 800,000 workers, reports the Los Angeles Times.
