Minimum Wage Changes in 16 States
The new year is bringing substantial changes to the country's Minimum Wage landscape. Effective January 1, 2007 the minimum wage increased in 16 states!
A mere 17 states continue to peg their minimum wage to the Federal rate of $5.15 per hour. The Democrat-controlled 110th Congress has made an increase to the Federal minimum wage a legislative priority, promised in their first 100 hours. It remains to be seen how many workers will actually be impacted by this change. Only 2 of our 10 most populous states (Texas and Georgia) currently defer to the Federal minimum wage.
The Fair Labor Standards Act, which authorized the minimum wage, establishes that an employer must pay the greater of the Federal or their state's minimum wage. Household employees are covered by minimum wage.
HomeWork Solutions's Website, 4nannytaxes.com, has a state by state listing of current minimum wage levels.
