Additionally, beginning midyear in 2015, the minimum wage would increase annually by 55 cents per hour until it reaches Berkeley's "living wage" rate, the hourly wage the city requires its contractors and suppliers to pay their workers. The living wage, tied to cost-of-living increases, is now about $2 higher than the proposed minimum wage.
