The proposal, billed as the highest minimum wage in the U.S., would take the minimum wage for hotels and LAX workers to $30 by 2028.

The Los Angeles City Council on Wednesday voted to approve a sweeping proposal that it has considered for at least two years to raise wages and expand health benefits for hotel and airport workers, a move that could reshape the city’s tourism labor market as it prepares to host the 2028 Olympics.

The LA City Council cast a preliminary vote to increase tourism workers' minimum wage to $30 by 2028, starting with $22.50 in July. The proposal faces industry concerns over potential job cuts.
