Mo' Money For New Yorkers

For those New Yorkers making minimum wage, 2007 is your year. [The state has upped it from $6.75 to $715](http://news10now.com/content/top_stories/default.asp?ArID=90992 ). OK, that’s a typo. It’s now $7.15. Still, that’s a whole 40 cents. This is the third increase thanks to legislation passed in 2004. But don’t rush out and spend your moeny all in one place. Some speculate that [small business owners will be forced to raise prices](http://www.rnews.com/Story_2004.cfm?ID=44800&rnews_story_type=18) as a result of paying their employees more.
