Voters have defeated ballot initiatives that would have changed the minimum wage tip credit in Arizona and Massachusetts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arizona<\/a> Proposition 138 \u2014 which would have allowed employers to pay employees up to 25% less than the minimum hourly wage if the employer could establish that the employee’s wage plus tips or gratuities is at least $2.00 more than the minimum wage for every hour worked \u2014 was roundly rejected by a 25-75 margin, according to unofficial results<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Massachusetts<\/a> Question 5 \u2014 which would have gradually phased out the state’s minimum wage credit by 2029 and also have allowed employers to administer tip pools that distribute tips among all workers \u2014 was losing by a 36-64 margin at the time of publication, according to the New York Times<\/a> (Massachusetts does not publish unofficial results).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Seattle suburb of Everett, Washington<\/a>, Initiative 24-02 – which would have established a local minimum wage of $20.24 per hour for large employers starting in July 1, 2025, and then phased in the minimum wage for smaller employers over the next two years \u2014 was defeated by a 41-59 margin, according to unofficial results<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time of publication, the race was still too close to call for minimum wage ballot initiatives in Alaska<\/a> and California<\/a>. With 76% of votes in, Alaska’s measure had a commanding-but-not-insurmountable lead of 57-43. With 52% of votes in, California’s measure was losing 48-52.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The results suggest that voters may be losing their appetite for minimum wage increases. Before the November 5 election, all but two of the 28 minimum wage increases that have appeared on the ballot since 1996<\/a> <\/em>had been approved.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
