L.A. County supervisors set to vote on minimum wage increase
L.A. County Supervisor Hilda L. Solis speaks during a board in June to discuss the increase of the minimum wage to $15 by 2020. (Marcus Yam)Los Angeles County supervisors are expected to vote Tuesday to boost the minimum wage in county-controlled unincorporated areas from $9 to $15 over the next few years, following the lead of the city of Los Angeles.
The anticipated vote could put the greater Los Angeles area on track to a $15-an-hour regional wage -- or could result in a patchwork system in which some of the 87 smaller independent cities in the county move to a higher wage and others hold out.
