The Minimum Wage: An Overview. Minimum wage laws establish a base level of pay that employers are required to pay certain covered employees. The current federal minimum wage is $6.55 per hour. The laws consist primarily of federal and state statutes.
No other state has a minimum wage of $13 an hour. Republican lawmakers said the increase will result in businesses raising prices or cutting their workforce. They noted that the Legislature last year approved a bill that would raise the minimum wage from $8 an hour to $9 on July 1 and to $10 on Jan. 1, 2016.
