I'm confused, with the minimum wage increase in effect, why is the federal wage different than the state wage increase? and which one do you legally go by?

The state law does not apply to all employees. The federal law does not apply to all employees. If both the state and federal laws apply, you get the highest of the two. In almost all states the state minimum is higher.

The federal minimum wage is the lowest any state can go. There are some states however, like New York for example, that have a higher minimum wage rate. If u live in a state that has a higher minimum wage, it overrules the federal minimum because its higher. The states can raise their minimum wage or cut it at their own leisure, but it can't go below the federal minimum

Because some states don't have minimum wages. The federal kicks in. And some state have the wage set at higher then the federal mininum, at the point the state wage overrides the federal.

except AZ has extraordinary exertions regulations= NO. cab drivers might properly be contractors or worker yet i've got in no way considered below minimum wages there. as for dispatcher , there is something lacking for dispatcher income.
