Point-to-point sub-orbital spaceflight is a category of spaceflight in which a spacecraft uses a sub-orbital flight for transportation. This can provide a two-hour trip from London to Sydney, which would be much faster than what is currently over a twenty-hour flight.
On June 2, 2014, the City Council of Seattle, Washington passed a local ordinance to increase the minimum wage of the city to $15 an hour, giving the city the highest minimum wage in the United States, which will be phased in over seven years, to be fully implemented by 2021.
State minimum wages have largely outpaced the federal minimum, which was flat for almost a decade, starting in 1997. When state wages are different from the federal level, the higher wage prevails. In Colorado, the minimum wage is $7.02 per hour and will be adjusted yearly in January for inflation. For employees who regularly are tipped, the minimum wage is $4 per hour, according to the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment. State minimum wages range from Californiaâs $8 an hour to Floridaâs $6.79, just above the new federal rate.
