Quad Cities Chamber of Commerce is asking for a delay on the Jan. 1 minimum wage increase – WQAD (Davenport)

According to chamber President and CEO, Paul Rumler, the increase is just coming at a bad time, as many of the businesses who employ minimum wage workers - including restaurants, hospitality and retail - are struggling from the pandemic. "What we've seen over the last year is a 33% increase to the minimum wage here in Illinois at the exact time that our community's been ravaged by Covid-19."
