Just want to add for those who might not know, if the state minimum is below the federal, then the federal is used as the minimum.
So there are states where the politicians would tell business people “it’s not our fault you pay so much, we’d never want minimum wage at $7.25 and that’s why we never raised ours… we gotta fight for states’ rights!” (?)
Instead of matching the federal minimum (which is kind of a waste of time you could argue but that would occasionally send a different message at least)
