The minimum wage has not yet been raised federally. It might get passed next legislative session, which would mean late 2007 or early 2008 it will get raised.
However bunch of cities and states voted to raise their own local minimum wage and some of these voted to raise them in January.
If you are concerned with minimum wage laws you should seriously reconsider your life go to school!

because to commence with, a salary isn't in accordance to what your own prices are. it truly is not what a salary represents. A salary represents your troublesome artwork contribution for your agency. as a thanks to earn $x,000 in step with year, you want to generate a minimum of y*$x,000 in step with year, the position y is a area more suitable than a million. the quantity (y-a million)$x,000 is organization overhead prices. minimum salary has the inherent challenge, of doing not something more suitable than reducing off the bottom rungs of the commercial ladder. All it does is make it unlawful to employ someone at a lot less money than an arbitrary fee. What if the guy is thoroughly prepared to artwork at lower than that arbitrary fee, and that is the perfect way for them to locate a way up the ladder? once you've a relatives status depending minimum salary, then this may really bring about fewer jobs should you've relatives commitments. As an agency, there might want to be no reason to employ a guy who's a father, in case you may employ a unmarried guy for far less money.

In some states, it has been raised recently. In PA, the minimum wage will be raised in 2007.
Democrats are indicating they will try to raise the Federal minimum wage to about $7.15 per hour in 2007. The new Congress has not been sworn in yet.
