Map shows how minimum wage compares across the country
Some cities and regions have higher minimum wages compared to the state, to account for cost of living and rising inflation.
For example, New York City, Westchester and Long Island are increasing their minimum wage to $16 an hour at the beginning of the new year. The rest of New York will have a $15 minimum wage.
Twenty states will continue to have a legal minimum wage of $7.25 next year.
Which states have no minimum wage laws?
There is no minimum wage law in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, or Tennessee, so minimum wages default to federal law at $7.25.
In Georgia and Wyoming, the state minimum wage is lower than the federal minimum wage at $5.15 an hour. But, many employers are subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act and must pay the Federal minimum wage.
