ORLANDO, Fla. — Florida’s minimum wage is set to increase to $14 per hour on Sept. 30.

This increase is part of a voter-approved amendment from 2020, which has been championed by Orlando attorney John Morgan.

The minimum wage has gone up by a dollar each year since 2021. It will reach $15 by 2026.
