  In my state the minimum wage is tied to inflation. On 1/1 it goes to $15.74.
  Not that you're getting anyone to show up for that.
context: Arizona has one of the highest minimum wages in the country in 2023 at $13.85  All because of a voter initiative in 2016 when Republicans ran Arizona.  The initiative said there would be a set dollar increase yearly until 2020 and then the minimum wage would be tied to inflation.  The same initiative provided for paid time off for employees.  Having voter initiatives is about the only way to have progressive change in Republican states. >
  
  It upsets me that minimum wage isn't already tied to inflation. In fact all wages should be tied to inflation. Should be mandatory that businesses give raises proportional to current inflation, and the "cap" many businesses have for wages also be increased to match.
  What happens at the business I work for is if you're at cap and there is a company wide raise. They just give you a bonus. Hasn't happened to me but it doesn't seem to be anything similar to how much they'd make if they actually got the raise
