DENVER (KDVR) — Denver is set to have one of the nation's highest minimum wages in the new year, eclipsing all but a handful of West Coast cities. The lowest paid workers here in the Mile High City are getting an 8.94% pay increase next week on Jan. 1, as the city's minimum wage increases to $17.29 per hour. The city's Department of Finance raises the minimum wage on the first of every year depending on the Consumer Price Index, which has risen at record rates over the last year. Denver will have the sixth-highest minimum wage in the U.
