The minimum wage went up to $13.50 an hour in Massachusetts in 2021, but it remained unchanged in New Hampshire.
The minimum wage in New Hampshire has stayed the same since 2009. That's when the federal government bumped it up to $7.25 an hour, as the U.S. Department of Labor points out. That means 2021 will be the 13th year where New Hampshire has a $7.25 minimum wage.
In many respects, 2020 was not a good year in the United States, or Massachusetts for that matter.
The coronavirus has killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. Government responses to the pandemic have killed jobs and permanently shuttered businesses. Liberal and progressive Democrats swept the Congressional races and maintained their supermajority in the Massachusetts State House; those lefties even passed the ROE Act.
