I am certain I am not the first to click to this page hoping for a simple graph -- or better yet, table -- showing the Federal Minimum Wage in the U.S.A. over time.
Instead we see the usual Wikipedia blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah with no such graph or table in sight and no place to click to see one.
Thanks for your prompt attention to this oversight. :-) Jamesdowallen ( talk) 11:15, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
See: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of US states by minimum wage. Please comment there after reading my post below.
Rather than trying to delete the list article I believe this overly long TL;DR article would be better served by moving the remaining tables to the list article.
Then both articles would be a reasonable size. Then there would be less problems like the one presented in the previous talk section just above: #Federal minimum wage over time where the original poster gave up looking for what he wanted.
An actual federal table could be created instead of just a graph. Because there would be more room to do so in the list article. List article name could be changed to something like:

List article was kept, and not deleted. -- Timeshifter ( talk) 00:32, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
Moved to List of US states by minimum wage. It's overkill here, but useful there. I originally added it here Nov 20, 2021. See diff.
I added more info there. -- Timeshifter ( talk) 01:17, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
The recent proposed European Union directive on minimum wages ( procedure 2020/0310) emphasizes adequacy assessments of minimum wages, explicitly requiring one of a basket of goods and services at real prices, or set it at 60% of the gross median wage and 50% of the gross average wage. Are those adequacy assessment measurements available here? I believe it would be useful to have equivalent statistical measurements between US and EU member states. int21h ( talk · contribs · email) 06:06, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
