Yes its going to increase to $6.55. But this really doesnt matter to most people because although minimum wage increases, so does the prices for everything else each year like food, clothing, etc. So the increase really doesnt matter, you still get the same for your money, thats why they increase it, to keep things balanced. And minimum wage all depends on where you live too because states have different minimum wages. In California the minimum wage is $8.00. Florida's minimum wage is $6.79
