I didn't want to get into detail about it, but dyeas some states do pay more. It ranges anywhere from 5.00 to 9,00 to 10,00
Only a couple states give 15.00 per hour just recently. The minimum wage has been at a stand still since the early 90's, not many increases in over 30 years.
Just want to add, the USA offers help, but this help comes out of the workers backs, the taxpayers, they cannot be burdened with this anymore.
The Big Corporations need to step up to the plate, and start paying fair wages.
