## Resource

Phoenix city leaders are launching a study to explore raising the minimum wage for city workers and contractors, aiming to ensure a full-time job covers basic living costs in the face of soaring expenses. While no specific number is set yet, the plan includes evaluating impacts on city budgets and contractor pay—especially for airport workers who rely on tips to make ends meet. As other Arizona cities already enforce higher wages, Phoenix may follow suit, with final decisions pending later this year after staff analysis and council review.
