Prop A – When will the minimum wage go up in Missouri?

Friday, November 8, 2024 at 12:00 AM

ST. LOUIS – Missouri voters turned out on Election Day in support of a ballot measure to increase the minimum wage and keep up with cost-of-living increases, one of two states to do so.

According to the unofficial tally on the Missouri Secretary of State’s website, Proposition A passed by a margin of 57.6% to 42.4%, with nearly three million ballots cast.

In 2024, the minimum wage in Missouri is $12.30 an hour, well above the federal minimum wage of $7.25, which itself was established in the summer of 2009.

Proposition A will take a gradual approach to wage increases, with the minimum wage first rising to $13.75 per hour on Jan. 1, 2025, and then to $15 per hour in 2026. The wage will increase annually based on changes in the Consumer Price Index.
