(St. Paul, MN) -- Many Minnesotans will see their paychecks go up in the new year.  

Starting on January 1st, the state's minimum wage increases to ten-85 for large employers and eight-85 for others. The increase is meant to help ease inflation. 

It won't apply to workers in Minneapolis and St. Paul because both cities already have higher rates.  

Across the country, more than 20 states will raise their minimum wages in 2024.  This is expected to impact nearly ten-million people.
