Baltimore Sets First Living Wage Law | Baltimore News

Baltimore just became the first U.S. city to enact a living wage law, setting a minimum of $17.17 per hour for 3,500 city contract workers — with annual adjustments tied to inflation, not outdated poverty lines. This isn’t just about paychecks; it’s about ensuring every dollar the city spends on services reaches the people who deliver them. Workers can file complaints online or by phone to enforce their rights, and overtime is now covered at time and a half. Fair wages aren’t a perk — they’re the baseline for a city that values its workers.
