The National Minimum Wage has increased again from October 2007
The minimum wage is a legal right which covers almost all workers above compulsory school leaving age. There are different minimum wage rates for different groups of workers as follows:
The main rate for workers aged 22 and over increased on 1 October 2007 to £5.52 an hour from £5.35 an hour.
The development rate for 18-21 year olds increased to £4.60 an hour from £4.45 an hour
The development rate for 16-17 year old increased to £3.40 an hour from £3.30 an hour
On 1 October 2006 the rate of the accommodation offset increased to £30.10 per week (£4.30 per day) from £29.05 per week (£4.15 per day)
It is important to note that these new rates only apply to pay reference periods beginning on or after the date they came into law.

Federal is $5.15 per hour. State minimum wage laws vary. For example California last time I checked was $8.75 per hour and I know Nevada is $6.15 per hour.
