An estimated 900 city of Detroit employees could see a wage boost this summer, bringing their compensation up to what’s considered a livable wage in Wayne County.
The proposed minimum wage increase to $21.45 an hour, or $44,616 a year, for full-time employees would kick in during the first full pay period of July, Mayor Mary Sheffield announced Monday, March 9. City officials say they expect the move will boost morale for positions with high turnover and, overall, improve the quality of life for employees who may work multiple jobs.
