Effective on January 1, 2024, Connecticut's minimum wage will increase to $15.69 under its first-ever economic indicator adjustment.
The adjustment is required under a new state law connecting the minimum wage to the percentage change in the federal employment cost index.

Access to quality, affordable childcare is critical, both for the development of children and to support working families.
That is why our budget proposal significantly increases funding for these services, with the goal of giving thousands more children in CT access to care.

Not only are you able to earn while you learn, but you are preparing yourself to be the highly skilled and trained workforce of tomorrow. You are going into a pathway to have a good job and a good future and be the fabric of CT’s economy.” and a National Apprenticeship Week graphic.

Essential workers made enormous sacrifices on our behalf during the pandemic. I’m thrilled to launch this new Premium Pay program to provide those workers some well-deserved financial relief.

CT is the most family-friendly state in the country, and this one-time benefit puts money back into the pockets of families who have been struggling most to make ends meet.
I want to thank @POTUS and our amazing congressional delegation for making this possible through ARPA.

There’s a lot to be optimistic about today — jobs are growing, there are good paying opportunities in every corner of the state, and businesses and young families are moving here.
Happy Friday, everybody!
