People with minimum wage jobs in Nevada will be stuck at that wage for the next fiscal year that begins July 1.

Since 2006 the Office of the Labor Commissioner has been conducting an annual review of the hourly rate. The group takes the federal minimum wage and cost of living into consideration when making the decision. The federal wage is $7.25 an hour.

Nevada’s minimum wage is $8.25 an hour, but drops to $7.25 an hour if the employer offers qualified health benefits. Rules and rates for overtime for 2017-18 will also remain unchanged.

California’s minimum wage is $10.50/hour and will gradually increase to $15 by 2022.
