Members of the state of Hawaii's House and Senate are hoping to come to an agreement to increase Hawaii's minimum wage to $10.10 per hour by January 2018. This matches President Barack Obama's suggested increase to the federal minimum wage. According to the state Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, approximately, 2.2 percent of the state's labor force earned the minimum wage or less in 2012.
