Last year, El Milagro employees saw a round of raises that ranged between $1 to $3 per hour followed by a second raise of 36 cents across the board in December, said Shelly Ruzicka, Arise Chicago’s communications and development director. Before the raises, Ruzicka said, workers made approximately $15 to $17 an hour, with few reaching the higher end. Now, employees are starting at about $16.50 an hour, with most others making about $17 to $20 an hour. Arise Chicago estimates the raises affected 450 workers.
