Oregon Minimum Wage Hikes Explained | Seattle News
Oregon’s minimum wage just got a 50-cent hourly boost—adding nearly $600 a year for full-time workers. But the jump varies by region: Portland’s metro area hits $16.80, coastal and valley counties get $15.55, and rural eastern counties see $14.55. The raise, mandated since 2016, was originally pegged to 3.3% inflation—but with inflation now at 4.2%, some argue the hike should’ve been closer to 63 cents. It’s a step forward, but the cost of living is still outpacing the adjustment. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn Advertise on…
