Accurate Map of State Minimum wage Across the United States

[Lewdog]

Unfortunately there are posters ( andaronjim ) on this forum who are misinformed and do not understand that minimum wage is different in each state across the country. The federal government sets a floor for a wage which is currently $7.25. This map shows the minimum wage of each state across the country. It is important to understand because each stat might have living conditions that are much higher than other states. The $13 minimum wage in California where even those making $20+ an hour cannot afford to live where they work, could fund raising a family in Kentucky, however the minimum wage here is $7.25, almost HALF of that in California. So please remember this when making your argument.

The actual minimum wage is $0.00

It's what you get if machines take over your job, or if your boss can now hire a person worth the extra money he has to spend to pay you to do a job YOU are not providing the worth for at the inflated salary.

You mean 29 states are already above the Federal minimum wage already and the business owners were not driven out of business to go back to working for wages, instead of pursuing their American dream?

Here in Nevada the fast food places pay around 10 bucks an hour for a starting wage. That's the only way they can get people to work for them. I can't think of a single place that actually pays as low as minimum. Warehouse jobs start at 17 per hour, anything requiring skill is around 20 per hour.

Back before minimum wage was determined by the Democrats, people were paid their worth. A burger flipper was paid $2,00 an hour because there were many burger flippers and it doesnt take a college degree to be one. Now lets look at a NFL quarterback, not too many of those around, but the really good ones are paid in the 10s of millions. Now for the really bad thing minimum wage does for people, those who are more qualified to be better, if the business owner is a liberal, will pay that person the minimum required and not the worth of the individual. Perfect example is Jeff Bezos, the liberal multibillionaire, the richest person on the planet, pays his employees no where near what he makes. Liberals, do as they say, not as they do....

Most places that pay minimum wage are small businesses which affects smaller cities more than others. It is just ignorant however to think that all states have a minimum wage of $10 for ALL jobs. It is just not true.

I'm not a Democrat, but your argument is totally wrong. Liberals are those consistently asking for a hike on the minimum wage while conservatives want to keep it where it is and allow business to set their own pay. Once again you are wrong and just spouting partisan arguments.

I'm going to see if the OP gets the point of this.

According to the BLS, the average hourly wage of a doctor is roughly $89. The hourly wage is higher for some specialties and lower for other specialties. Anesthesiologists average about $113 an hour, surgeons average about $111 an hour, internists average about $91 an hour, and pediatricians average about $81 an hour.

How do these compare to other health professionals? A general dentist has an average hourly salary of about $77; some dental specialties were compensated significantly higher. For example, an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon pockets about $105 per hour. A podiatrist averages about $64 an hour. An optometrist and pharmacist both average just above $50 an hour. Physician Assistants and Physical Therapists make $43 and $39 per hour respectively. A Registered Nurse makes about $33 an hour.

The lowest-paid 10 percent of lawyers received $26.11 per hour or less in 2012, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The is the equivalent of $54,310 in full-time annual income. The lowest-earning 25 percent of lawyers received $36 per hour or less, equivalent to $74,880 annually. The BLS multiplies hourly income by 2,080 to calculate annual income.

Median and Average Earners
The median pay for lawyers in 2012 was $54.58 per hour, or $113,530 per year, according to the BLS. On the other hand, their average annual pay was $62.93 per hour, which comes to $130,880 per year. Median pay means half earn more and half earn less. The average, also called the arithmetic mean, is calculated by adding together all workers' salaries and dividing by the number of workers. As a result, the average pay is higher than the median when there are some extremely high earners.

An entry-level Electrician with less than 1 year experience can expect to earn an average total compensation (includes tips, bonus, and overtime pay) of $15.02 based on 251 salaries. An early career Electrician with 1-4 years of experience earns an average total compensation of $17.91 based on 3,432 salaries. A mid-career Electrician with 5-9 years of experience earns an average total compensation of $22.79 based on 2,576 salaries. An experienced Electrician with 10-19 years of experience earns an average total compensation of $25.21 based on 3,151 salaries. In their late career (20 years and higher), employees earn an average total compensation of $27.

Plumbers made a median salary of $53,910 in 2018. The best-paid 25 percent made $71,140 that year, while the lowest-paid 25 percent made $40,250

A little research into the average and minimum wage of just about any trade, skilled, or college trained job is NOT 7.25 per hour.

Before i retired 2 years ago, my worth to the employer was over $100,000 a year, because i was saving the employer millions that went to fraud, waste and abuse. If you want to be a burger flipper that is your choice, dont expect much, if you want to paid big bucks, then get skills that make you desirable...

You can cut and paste. Now go find the stats on the number of post-high school educated individuals who are working at minimum wage jobs because they cannot find employment in their field of expertise.

That would be none. You see, high-school educated individuals don't have a field of expertise. I wonder if you understand that?

They have a "high school diploma" <-- A low level, general education diploma that barely prepares a person to leave the house.

$7.25 is an inflated salary?

Here in Nevada the fast food places pay around 10 bucks an hour for a starting wage. That's the only way they can get people to work for them. I can't think of a single place that actually pays as low as minimum. Warehouse jobs start at 17 per hour, anything requiring skill is around 20 per hour.

$20/hr is, adjusted for inflation, about what I was earning in 1974. $10.65/hr WITH insurance and scrips.Eyes too.It was a decentt wage then as $20 is now.The $7/hr number will get you 3 hots and a spot under the bridge. Better be where there's good public corona transport
