Flagstaff increasing its minimum wage to $16.80 per hour

Associated Press Sep 13, 2022 12:14 PM - 130 words Eds: CORRECTS: 1st sentence in summary. FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — The city of Flagstaff is increasing its minimum wage to $16.80 per hour starting Jan. 1, a raise of $1.30.

Flagstaff officials said Tuesday that the minimum wage applies to all employees who work — or are expected to work — at least 25 hours within the ci...
