Need help with the minimum wage.

[styersc]

I know that many states have there own minimum wage. Here in SOuth carolina the minimum wage is $5.25 (I believe this is federal). What is the minimum wage in other states?

3. Sort of an OT thought...If we can legislate a Minimum...

...and justify it with arguments about equity and such....Why not a Maximum?

4. because people would never buy into it...

it would die before it could get anywhere. No one wants the ammount of money they make limited, even if that maximum was millions of dollars over their head.

5. Brilliant idea

I think the maximum wage should be defined by the amount earned by the lowest paid employee.

6. Colorado: Our poster out front says $5.15, but it's dated 1998.

I'm sure it's gone up since then, but I work in a Union shop, so we get paid more anyhow, so nobody pays attention.
