Same with Pennsylvania. But I dont know of any jobs that pay that little, nor do I know of anybody that would work a job at that rate. However, i believe it creates psychological leverage benefitting employers holding wages low: “I know we pay $10.25 per hour, but that’s $3 above minimum wage! We pay really well.”

Dammit, Massachusetts is only $15/hr and no plans to increase. Given our cost of living, we really need to try harder
Any state with a minimum lower than $15/hr is a fucking joke.
Texas at 7.25/hr :((((

Oof, that’s what I used to make 25 years ago
Its been the federal minimum for longer than that. This place is a joke
Man, thats how much I got while working there (in the US, not Texas) like, 10 years ago. Is that even enough to survive these days?
If you doubled it, no… still not enough to get by.
