Intro
Florida is taking another scheduled step toward a higher minimum wage. For workers in tourism, retail, and food service, this is one more raise built into the state’s long term plan.
What Changed
On September 30 2025, Florida’s minimum wage is set to rise to 14.00 dollars per hour. This follows the voter approved path toward a 15.00 dollar minimum in future years. Every hour at the legal floor now brings in more pay, which can ease pressure on rent and basic bills. Employers with many low wage positions must adjust prices, staffing, or both to absorb the higher rate.
What to Watch Next
Watch how workers describe the impact of the 14.00 dollar wage on their monthly budget and whether hours are cut in response. Also watch how the final jump to 15.00 dollars shapes debates over future ballot measures on wages.
