SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Democrats in California have agreed to delay a minimum wage increase for about 426,000 health care workers to help balance the state's budget.

Health care workers would see their pay increase on Oct. 15 if state revenue between July and September is at least 3% higher than what state officials have estimated. If that doesn't happen, the minimum wage increase will not start until January.

The minimum wage for most people in California is $16 per hour.
