Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) has signed legislation raising Virginia’s minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2028, marking an increase of $2.23 over the next two years.

“Today, we are putting more money in the pockets of Virginia workers,” Spanberger said. “If you work full-time in Virginia, you should be able to afford to live in Virginia. You should be able to keep up with your rent or mortgage, fill your medications, and save for your kids’ futures.”
