# One person in the 48 contiguous U.S. states and Washington, D.C. -- $8,590
# One person in Alaska -- $9,890
# One person in Hawaii -- $10,730
# Two people in the 48 contiguous U.S. states and Washington, D.C. -- $11,610
# Four people in the 48 contiguous U.S. states and Washington, D.C. -- $17,650
Even the Minimum Wage level, as increased recently, is a disgrace and below that of any western industrialized country.
