The Key to Saving the Maryland Restaurant Industry Post-COVID 19
Maryland Fact sheet
The subminimum wage for tipped workers is still just $3.63 an hour in the state of Maryland. A direct legacy of slavery, the subminimum wage affects a workforce of over 105,000 tipped workers that is 65 percent women and 52 percent people of color. Ending this low-wage carve-out positively impacts an overall restaurant industry of over 185,000 in Maryland.
