I was just curious what the minimum wage was in other places. Here, it's 5.15/h. Tomorrow they are going to be doing a voting thing to raise it to $7.50 I'm going to be so happy if that happens. I know in Santa Fe, it's something like $9/h, but everything is crazy expensive there.

We passed a state amendment recently that raised Florida's minimum wage to $6.15 and it is indexed yearly against inflation rates thereafter.

It's $5.15/hr here. If I recall correctly, Georgia even has an extra piece of legislation on the books that prevents local governments from raising their county's/city's minimum wage.

Yeah, most of New Mexico I believe is 5.15, except for Santa Fe, and hopefully Albuquerque after tomorrow.

Washington DC's minimum wage will be raised to 7.00 soon. Im not sure how much it is now, because I don't earn minimum wage.

A quick google reports DC has a minimum wage of $6.60, raised from $6.15 in January, which it had been since 1997. January 2006 will see a rise to $7.00.

I think it's 5.25 in Philly...but I'm not sure. Last time I earned minimum wage was when I was in highschool...about seven years ago. It was 5.15 then.
