Starting January 1, 2008, it will be $6.65 for the entire state of Missouri.

Some workers in Missouri will get a raise starting Tuesday. The state鈥檚 legally mandated minimum wage rises 15 cents an hour to $6.65.

The raise is the inflation-based adjustment to the state鈥檚 wage floor that voters passed last year. That vote pushed the Missouri minimum up from the federal floor of $5.15 an hour to $6.50 an hour in 2007, with an annual inflationary adjustment.

The 2008 increase is tied to a 2.2 percent change in the Consumer Price Index between July 2006 and July 2007.

The increase puts Missouri鈥檚 minimum well above the current federal minimum wage of $5.85 an hour.

The federal minimum will bump up again in July to $6.55 an hour, and a third uptick, to $7.25, is scheduled for July 2009.

Not included in the raise are a few thousand Kansas workers who aren鈥檛 covered by the federal wage law. Unlike counterparts in Missouri, some Kansas workers have a wage minimum of $2.65 an hour.

$6.65 starts in 2008
