L.A. County supervisors set to vote on minimum wage increase

Los Angeles County supervisors are expected to vote Tuesday to boost the minimum wage in county-controlled unincorporated areas from $9 to $15 over the next few years, following the lead of the city of Los Angeles.

The anticipated vote could put the greater Los Angeles area on track to a $15-an-hour regional wage -- or could result in a patchwork system in which some of the 87 smaller independent cities in the county move to a higher wage and others hold out.

The supervisors initially considered the wage hike last month, but postponed a vote when Hilda Solis, a labor ally who had been expected to support the measure, asked for more time to address concerns of small businesses.
