The new year will kick off with a raise for some Michigan workers; at least those making minimum wage. Effective January 1, Michigan's minimum wage rate will increase from $8.50 per hour to $8.90 per hour. This is all part of Public Act 138, the Workforce Opportunity Act that took effect on May 27, 2014, replacing the Michigan Minimum Wage and Overtime Act. The Workforce Opportunity Act calls for gradually increasing the minimum wage by 25% to $9.25 by January 1 of 2018:
