Clinton Public Works Already Thinking About Impacts of Minimum Wage Hike

The Clinton Public Works Department is going to one of the many areas of city government that is going to be feeling the impacts of the minimum wage hike.

 

By 2025, the minimum wage is going to be $15 an hour and Public Works Director Steve Lobb says they are already thinking about how that is going to impact them and are planning accordingly.

 

 

Many opponents of the minimum wage pointed to part-time workers and seasonal workers like those that could be most impacted by a minimum wage hike. While there is an age restriction in the bill, Lobb says they are very dependent on seasonal help.

 

 

Lobb says much like every other change that gets thrown at them, they will manage and make it through like they always do.
