The New Year will start well for over 3 million workers -- they're getting a raise.
Employers in 21 states and Washington D.C. will hike their minimum wages on January 1.
This has been a huge year for low wage workers. Sparked by a wave of fast food and retail worker protests, more than a dozen states like Alaska, South Dakota and Nebraska and many cities such Seattle and Oakland have jumped on the momentum and passed new laws to raise the minimum wage.
