These cities and states just raised their minimum wage

Minimum wage workers in various parts of the country got a pay increase Thursday, the first day of the new fiscal year for most state and local governments.

The pay raises come just months after Congress failed to raise the $7.25 federal minimum wage to $15.

Here are the states and major cities where higher wages kicked in this week.
