(Undated)  --  Many states, counties, and municipalities plan to hike their minimum wages come 2022.  The wage increases are a response in part to cost-of-living adjustments and scheduled raises written into local laws.  California and New York will both hike the wage floors to 15-dollars an hour for many workers. 

While 21 states plan to raise hourly play January 1st, four other states will raise their wages later in the new year.
