Minimum wage going up for many, but not Indiana

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The minimum wage will be going up for many, but not in Indiana, and Indiana-made vehicles help Subaru reach record sales.

In several places the minimum wage jump will be between $1 and $2 an hour.

It can provide a full-time worker with another $40 to $80 a week.

Indiana’s laws won’t be changing next week, although there are proposals in the legislature for an increase down the road.
