There are only three cities in the United States that have passed laws increasing minimum wage above state or federal minimum wage standards. San Francisco is not only one of those three cities; it is the city in the United States that offers its workers the highest minimum wage standard in the country.
Minimum wage in San Francisco is now $9.14 per hour, an increase over the City's immediate past standard, which was $8.82 per hour. A person working a 40-hour week at the new $9.14 per hour standard will earn a little more than $19,000 per year.
California's minimum wage standard is $7.50 per hour and the federal standard is $5.15 per hour.

The San Francisco Office of Labor Standards Enforcement will send out more than 100,000 notices to San Francisco employers advising that they must, by law, immediately begin paying all of their employees at least $9.14 per hour. Following is a list of contacts within the SF Office of Labor Standards Enforcement. If you know anyone in the City who is being paid minimum wage, or if you know employers who pay minimum wage, please get this information to them.
