It's official! The minimum wage amount in certain LA County areas is increasing by 6.4% starting in July. According to KTLA, this is the first increase since 2016. In attempt to offset the rise of inflation, cost of living, gas, and all the other expenses it takes to live here, minimum wage is being increased to $15.96 for unincorporated Los Angeles County areas.
If you work in these areas, the pay increase will apply to you: La Crescenta, Canyon Country, Baldwin Hills, Altadena, Castaic, Ladera Heights, Marina del Rey, Montrose, Wrightwood, Rowland Heights, Topanga Canyon, Universal City and more. You can find the complete list here.
