minus-squareBarneyPiccolo@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up13·2 months agoThe a Federal Minimum Wage has been raised twice since 1997, the last time in 2009, for a total of $2.10. It currently stands at $7.25 an hour. 20 states are still at the Federal Minimum Wage, or LESS, with some at $5.15, and Oklahoma as low as $2.

And Georgia only has the $5.15 for businesses with less than 6 people that don’t do interstate commerce.
