here is something to look at on minimum wage I was wrong in my last post minimum wage at the federal level for al states is 7.25 not 7.50. when I stated working minimum wage was 3.50 ph so in the last 35 + - years minimum wage only went up 3.75 ph that dose not even cover the cost of living increase.
After years of Congressional gridlock, a record number of states have started taking action in recent years to raise the minimum wage.
•29 states, plus the District of Columbia, have set their minimum wage above the federal level of $7.25 per hour as of Jan. 1, 2015
•15 states, plus the District of Columbia, index their minimum wages to rise automatically with the cost of living. 10 states currently index minimum wage increases each year: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon and Washington. Five more states, plus the District of Columbia, will index minimum wage increases annually beginning in future years: Alaska (2017), D.C. (2017), Michigan (2019), Minnesota (2018), South Dakota (2016) and Vermont (2019).
•8 states have set the tipped minimum wage equal to the value of the full minimum wage, ensuring that tipped workers are paid the full minimum wage directly by their employer
See the list below for the minimum wage in each state.
