Federal minimum wage $7.25 hr. Florida minimum wage currently $8.65. In November 2020, Florida voters approved Amendment 2 increasing the minimum wage to $10.00 hr in September 2021. The minimum wage increases 1.00 per year until 2026 when it will be $15.00 hr. In Florida. Tipped employees currently receive $5.63 hr. plus tips. Under Amendment 2 the wage increases each year until 2026 when it is $11.98 hr. plus tips. In addition, a bill in the Florida legislature has been proposed to reduce the Florida minimum wage for those under 21 years of age. The growth of The Villages has practically exhausted the available labor pool for not only minimum wage jobs but also many professional and skilled labor jobs too. This is a problem that will not go away in the foreseeable future. This is the reality... I don’t see a White Castle for The Villages in the near future but will have to see this Orlando White Castle for myself in the near future.
