Massachusetts Question 1

Massachusetts Question 1 proposes increasing the state's minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2027, with annual adjustments based on inflation thereafter. The measure also aims to set a separate $15 minimum wage for tipped workers, gradually raising their pay to match the standard wage. This initiative intends to improve workers' income and reduce economic disparities. Opponents argue it could lead to higher business costs and job reductions. Overall, it is a vote on whether to raise the legal minimum pay in Massachusetts, impacting workers, employers, and the state's economy.
