    Not familiar enough with US political system, does a mayor have a say in minimum wage amount? I thought that would be the competency of the state

      Minimum wage is set on several levels - federal, state, city. The lower level just can’t be lower than the higher level.

      I think NYC has a higher minimum wage than the rest of the state. Not sure if that’s limited to New York, or possible in every city.

        NYC already has more protections for contract workers (rideshare drivers) than most cities on the planet.
