America on $7.25 an hour. By Shannon Stapleton. Federal minimum wage in the United States currently stands at $7.25 an hour, or $1,200-1,300 per month, and hasn't been raised since 2009. Its place relative to the median wage -- less than 40 percent -- makes it one of the lowest minimum wages across OECD countries.
Minimum wage indexing also takes place each year in Florida, San Francisco, California, and Santa Fe, New Mexico. [citation needed] The federal minimum wage in the United States was reset to its current rate of $7.25 per hour in July 2009. Some U.S. territories (such as American Samoa) are exempt. Some types of labor are also exempt: employers may pay tipped labor a minimum of $2.13 per hour, as long as the hour wage plus tip income equals at least the minimum wage.
