In November, Arizonans will vote on a measure that would increase the minimum wage from $8.05 an hour to $10 an hour in January 2017. The ballot measure would also increase the minimum wage annually until it reaches $12 in 2020.

How would you be affected if this measure is passed? Are you currently making minimum wage or less than $12 an hour? Do you own or manage a business?
