The following chart provides the minimum wage rates for states that have state minimum wage laws. Some states have higher minimum wages than the federal, and some states have a lower rate; however, if the state’s rate is lower than the federal rate, the federal rate applies to employers who are covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
A number of states increase the minimum wage each year based on changes to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). In some cases, the CPI does not change, or may even decrease. While a few states will adjust their minimum wage downward to account for this, others simply retain the same minimum wage that was in effect the previous year.
