Yeah.

[Envy 6,004]

Just looked it up, and it's $7.25. Yikes. In my current job I make about four dollars over that an hour. However, I do remember it being that low when I began working, because I started below around $8.45 (it could have been $8.25, knowing the minimum wage now) or something like that. If I hadn't worked nights it would have been a dollar less.

It's around $13.50/hr in USD. Either way, minimum wage usually only tells half of the story of living standards in that region – purchasing power is another important factor. In some places, goods and services can be far more expensive than average, decreasing purchasing power even when minimum wage there is higher. It's $11/hr in California, but that doesn't really help much when in most coastal cities, housing is extremely expensive and you still have to make far more than minimum wage to afford rent.

Here in Indiana its $7.25 per hour but i agree with with Anneal says. Just kinda depends where you reside at that determines minimum wages. I know of some people that live here in my state but go to say Chicago in Illinois which has a higher pay rate to work.

It’s how things are, sorry.

In Missouri, where I live, it's $8.60 an hour. In Kansas, where I work, it's $7.25. Big oof.

I make a fair bit more than that these days.

In Ontario, Canada right now it's $14 an hour. The Canadian dollar is kind of low, but that amount is still pretty high.

In Portugal, the minimum wage (for full-time jobs) is around 4€ an hour (that's 4,5$) at this moment.

$7.25 in Texas, though seeing how it is for other places makes me sometimes wish that I was somewhere else.

I used to make around $9.45 when I worked at McDonald's years ago in Washington. Here in Tokyo it's about ¥1,000 or so.

The minimum wage on Guam is $8.25 per hour, not too sure if it'll increase in the coming future.

[Cash In 21,582]

The minimum wage would be $19.49 AUD per hour, in Victoria.

[Savygriffs 5,025]

$7.25 an hour here in Texas. :)))))

[Northern Star 1,023]

$7.25 I believe in ND.

They tried raising it until they started to search around and realized that you literally can not get a job at minimum wage here, it's all above that, so they decided to leave it be for now.

Walmart is hiring part time for $26 an hour to do things like: greet, stock, mop, and checkout, because across the street you can get $160-$300 an hour in the oil fields or trucking or in the coal mines. Waiters I believe start at $12 last I heard, before tips.

Yes you can get $300 an hour sitting in a "chicken coop" watching TV and a computer screen, monitoring the rig. You do nothing else in that spot, unless something goes horribly wrong.

$7.25 an hour here in Tennessee. Place I work at specifically moved here because it's so low and $9 in their last state was "untenable".... Like I know that my client pays $20/hr for me, but you can't afford less than half of that actually going to me? 

[Clawdeen 12,110]

Let me google that real quick.

Maryland minimum wage is $13.25 for large employers and $12.80 for small employers

[Cash In 21,582]

According to Google, $23.23 AUD per hour.

[antlersir 24]

$12 as hour in VA, $2.13 for tipped jobs

[Theautisticrebel 290]

Kentucky's minimum wage is $7.25 per hour.

[Iforgotmybrain 3,552]

On Jan 1st it’ll be $10.45 per hour for non-tipped employees and $5.25 per hour for tipped employees. Although almost all companies end up paying more than that. Raising Canes for example starts at around $20 an hour. Most grocery stores at $15 (sans Walmart).

[Envy 6,004]

$7.25 in Oklahoma, the bare minimum for the US, ugh. The state I'm planning to move to, Connecticut is now $15, and will be $15.69 by the time I move.

I can't say I ever made only $7.25 an hour, but I also can't say that I've ever made anywhere near $15 an hour. Lord knows I'll need as much of a boost as I can get, coming from one of the bottom of the barrel states to one of the more expensive.

I always say, though: You get what you pay for.
