In 2007, the U.S. enacted a law incrementally raising the minimum wages in American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) until they equal the U.S. minimum wage. The most recent increase in American Samoa occurred on May 25, 2009. The next is scheduled for Sept. 30, 2015, with additional increases every 3 years thereafter. Under current law, the minimum wage in American Samoa's tuna canning industry will equal the current U.S. minimum wage of $7.25 in 2027. The CNMI's most recent increase occurred on Sept. 30, 2012. The next increase is scheduled for September 30, 2014, with additional increases in 2016 and annually thereafter until it reaches the U.S. minimum wage. This report discusses for each territory (1) changes in employment and earnings and (2) changes in key industries since the most recent federal minimum wage increase and since the increases began.
