    Minimum wage workers in Montgomery County will be getting a pay raise beginning on July 1.

    The raises are part of a 2017 law designed to help the lowest-paid earners keep up with inflation and are linked to the consumer price index, which went up about 2% locally last year.

    How much more minimum wage earners get depends on how big the company they work for is.

    Workers at small businesses — those with 10 or fewer employees — will get an additional 45 cents per hour, rising to $15.95 an hour.
