Sunnyvale, California, is set for a pay bump as the new year rolls in. Workers earning the minimum wage in this Silicon Valley city can expect a significant jump to $18.55 per hour starting January 1, 2024. This increase follows a citywide mandate that adjusts the minimum wage annually in sync with inflationary shifts, according to a recent release by the City of Sunnyvale.

Funding wallets with more green stuff, the bump is linked to the previous year's Consumer Price Index for the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward region, as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics. This hike is a reprieve, as the cost of living in one of America's tech hubs shows no signs of slowing down. As stated by the City of Sunnyvale's announcement, "The City’s ordinance adjusts the rate each year based on inflation."

Business owners and workers looking to get more information or to obtain wage posters can visit the city's official website. The City of Sunnyvale provides resources and contact details for those needing assistance.
