I am curious to know if each state differs in their minimum wage or is it all the same across the United States. And if it is different. What is the highest and the lowest.

Each state has its own minimum wage.

Minimum wage is Federal law in the U.S., same in all states.

Minimum federal wage is $ 5.50/hr. State law cannot countermand federal law, which applies in all the states.

The federal minimum wage is $5.15, but states are free to pass their own minimums.

It used to be federal, until this federal person said minimum wage didn't matter any more, so the States were forced to mandate it themselves. (Federal person being George Bush and his cronies)
