Travis County could enact a new minimum wage for employees by the next fiscal year…
A new county study finds the current minimum of $13 is only barely enough for a single person to get by, but not nearly enough for a couple, or a couple with kids.

Austin recently enacted its own $15 minimum for employees. This would not come without a cost to taxpayers though.
A $15 minimum wage would require$755,000 more in spending every year in the county budget.
