The first modern national minimum wage law was enacted by the government of New Zealand in 1894, followed by Australia in 1896 and the United Kingdom in 1909. In the United States, statutory minimum wages were first introduced nationally in 1938, and they were reintroduced and expanded in the United Kingdom in 1998.
Some cities and states have instead scheduled increases in the minimum wage to take place at various times during the year. In Maryland, for example, the minimum wage for 2017 is initially set at $9.25 starting July 1, 2017, and is slated for an increase to $10.10 effective July 1st, 2018. At the current time, 29 states have minimum wages above the federal minimum wage ($7.25/hour), and five states have not set a state minimum wage.
