This section breaks it down further by state. These are the main exceptions to the main rates in some states. There are many more exceptions in the sources. [1] [5] [26]
Below is a compact table of the minimum wages by U.S. state, U.S. territory, and the District of Columbia. This table is an exact duplicate of the Department of Labor source page ("Consolidated Minimum Wage Table"). So it may be out of date at times. See date on table at source. [7] The federal minimum wage applies in states with no state minimum wage or a minimum wage lower than the federal rate (column titled "No state MW or state MW is lower than $7.25."). Some of the state rates below are higher than the rate on the main table above. That is because the main table does not use the rate for cities or regions. See the main U.S. Department of Labor source for details. [1]
Notes:
Greater than federal MW | Equals federal MW of $7.25 | No state MW or state MW is lower than $7.25.
Employers covered by the FLSA must pay the federal MW of $7.25. |
