Redwood City — In a victory for workers, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors today voted to increase the minimum wage to $16.50 an hour beginning next spring.
The move approved 5-0 applies to unincorporated areas that include North Fair Oaks and its Middlefield Road business corridor and agricultural land stretching from Pacifica to Pescadero.
Board President Don Horsley, who proposed the increase with Supervisor Dave Pine, said the boost in paychecks will help stimulate the economy and assist families and individuals in an increasingly expensive area.
“The pandemic pointedly demonstrated that we have workers who are considered essential across a variety of industries but who must choose between food, shelter and other needs just to make ends meet,” Horsley said.
