Minnesota's minimum wage goes up on Jan. 1

About 219,000 Minnesotans earning minimum wage will see a slight boost in their paychecks as the new year begins, one of the state regulations and laws taking effect at the start of 2019.

New laws will affect a range of Minnesotans: potential identity theft victims, firefighters with post-traumatic stress disorder, residents of cities that are changing how trash is collected and others.
