    I love minimum wage, it always gets raised around election season. No one really knows what impact it has on an overall economy. If it really is the answer to a problem, I would like to see $20 an hour everywhere in the states...

    € 8,10 per hour / from 23 years of age. This is in the Netherlands.

    Yes, if you look at the currency this will exceed 10$ per hour.

    I forgot to mention. If you're an illegal immigrant from Mexico (we have millions of them here in the US), you have no minimum wage. You'll work for $10 a DAY and like it.

    So, we have two minimum wages. In Nevada, there are tons of illegal immigrants. A lot in Texas, Arizona and California too.

    I guess the lesson is, come here legally. If not, you'll get taken advantage off day and night.

    You ready for this...

    Indiana, the federal minimum wage at $5.15. Yuck!

    Webmastering kills that.

    Nice.

    I think minimum wage was about $5 here some 15 years ago. And we wonder why so many resort to government aid. Inflation goes up 3% annually on average, yet the minimum wage doesn't move.

    Today's $5.15 an hour would have been about $3.93 in 1991. The minimum wage should be around $8 to keep up with inflation.

    $13.74 per hour is the minimum wage any Australian worker can be paid.
    $522.12 Australian dollars (US$447.49) per week.

    LOL $13.74 an hour. Many min. wage workers in America would think they hit the lotto if they got that. ;)

    Damn, I'm moving to Australia!

    $7.50 here in NY. I don't even bother.

    I can make more than that writing content.
