I was referring to the federal minimum wage. When someone asks about "the minimum age" they are aksing about the FEDERAL wage. If someone wanted to know about California's minimum wage they would ask about "California's minimum wage"
Actually 18 states have minimum wages either at or lower than the federal level or no minimum wage law at all, not 10. My state is one of them. approxomitely 29% of the population of the US lives in those 18 states. Of the other 32 most have raised thier recently beause the federal government refused too. Florida is one of them that have yearly increases. This benefits business by not socking them every 10 years with a huge 40% increase in wages they have to pay out. For example in January the minimum wage went from $6.67 to $6.79. MUCH easier on businesses.
