Missouri Supreme Court Upholds St. Louis' $11 Minimum Wage

The Missouri Supreme Court gave low-wage workers in St. Louis a raise on Tuesday.

The five-judge panel issued a ruling upholding St. Louis’ minimum wage ordinance, saying it did not conflict with Missouri state law as business groups had argued. The decision means the city’s wage floor will soon rise to $10 per hour and then $11 in 2018.
