The increase was approved in a 61-1 vote and larger companies in New York City could be paying their workers $15 an hour by 2019. The new minimum wage follows a budget agreement between legislative leaders and Governor Andrew Cuomo, <a href="http://nrn.com/government/new-york-takes-step-toward-15-minimum-wage?NL=NRN-02_&amp%3BIssue=NRN-02__20160404_NRN-02__692&amp%3Bsfvc4enews=42&amp%3Bcl=article_1_1&amp%3Butm_rid=CPG06000001666135&amp%3Butm_campaign=8599&amp%3Butm_medium=email&amp%3Belq2=9295467e2adf4d1786eaebc8c0058a58&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=new-york-reaches-deal-to-raise-minimum-wage-to-15-4165" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">as reported by Nation's Restaurant News</a>.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="">&#8220;Nobody will ever have to choose between what their heart tells them to do and what their bank account tells them to do,&#8221; New York State Senate Independent Democratic caucus leader Jeffrey Klein said in a statement.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="">The debate over a minimum wage increase has been going on for some time and many Americans are in favor of it. A survey conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute showed that 59 percent of Americans support a $15 minimum wage.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="">In New York, the wage increase would start in New York City and slowly spread out to the rest of the state. Larger employers would have their wages increase to $15 on Dec. 21, 2018 and small businesses with 10 workers or fewer would see their wages increase to $15 an hour the following year.</span></div><div id="pastingspan1">&nbsp;</div><div><span style="">California recently <a href="http://1851franchise.com/details/4101/California-Strikes-Deal-to-Hike-Minimum-Wage-to-15-" target="_blank">increased its minimum wag</a>e in March.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><a href="http://nrn.com/government/new-york-takes-step-toward-15-minimum-wage?NL=NRN-02_&amp%3BIssue=NRN-02__20160404_NRN-02__692&amp%3Bsfvc4enews=42&amp%3Bcl=article_1_1&amp%3Butm_rid=CPG06000001666135&amp%3Butm_campaign=8599&amp%3Butm_medium=email&amp%3Belq2=9295467e2adf4d1786eaebc8c0058a58&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=new-york-reaches-deal-to-raise-minimum-wage-to-15-4165" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Click here to read the original article</a>.&nbsp;</div>
