Minimum Wage Hikes Approved in New Jersey, Seattle 
---------------------------------------------------


 
Backers of a measure to impose a $15-an-hour minimum wage at Seattle's
international airport and surrounding hotels have declared victory. New
Jersey voters approved a constitutional amendment to raise the minimum
wage by $1, to $8.25 an hour, and add automatic cost-of-living increases
each year.
