Minimum Wage by State *Effective as of Aug. 1, 2016


“… I believe it’s unfair to pay this high wage to kids who we have to invest a large amount of time to manage. We expect the labor costs of the rink to increase by at least $1 million this next year, an enormous amount to recover in my market where we are overbuilt.”


— Philip Linssen, San Diego Ice Arena
