in my state it’s 17/20/25/27/38 i think but i’m not sure on the last two, it’s been a while. tips don’t enter into calculations at all toward your wages, they’re just separate.
Some places still use the federal minimum wage. Thats how you get Mississippi.
Edit: looked it up. Says that in 2024, “843,000 earned federal minimum wage or below… Today, only around 1 percent of hourly workers earn the federal minimum, while almost a quarter of the U.S. workforce makes less that $17 an hour.”
Additional info: the min wage has not been increased since 2009. It should be $11.17 by now just with inflation - and that’s not a living wage, just an arbitrary poverty wage:
In my city they get paid 21/hr min wage iirc, and while lower elsewhere, barely anywhere uses federal min wage right?
