TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — The City of Tucson is inviting businesses to discuss the minimum wage rising to $15 by Wednesday, January 1, 2025.
Minimum wager turns into $13 an hour starting Friday, April 1.

Employers are invited to any of the following information sessions.
- Thursday, March 24, from 10-10:45 am (English), and 10:45-11:30 am (Spanish), at the El Pueblo Activity Center, Bldg. 9, Multipurpose Room A, 101 W Irvington Road.
