For most of the US it's still 5.15 I believe, though higher in some other areas. I think it's up to 5.50 in New York City.

In the Dominican Republic it's 3000 pesos a month (roughly $90 US).

[which doctor]

In the USA it ranges from $5.15 to $7.50 depending on the state.


Also the wiki article on minimum wage has a nice little graphic.

Indeed, in Mass it's around 6.50, closing on 7.00

Isn't there a server's minimum wage in the US for people like waiters and that which is quite low because they receive tips?

[Nothing Human Is Alien]

There's no minimum wage for them.. they're usually paid around $2.50 an hour.

There is no mimumim wage in Germany, but there are binding nation wide wage treaties for most industries. Still a minimum wage is in discussion, because the wage treaties are getting more and more bypassed. Wages are currently starting at about €4 ($4.80) an hour for certain sectors. The Linkspartei/PDS (Left Party/PDS, biggest German leftist party, unification of the reform-communists of the PDS, the former DDR state party, and a leftist spin-off of the social democrats) is advocating to establish laws for a minimum wage.

May as well throw this in ;) The minimum wage in the Isle of Man for those over 18 is £5.25, although this is proposed to go up to over £7 per hour within the next year or so. I can post wages for 16 and 17 year olds, but that doesn't seem to be the trend. Also I would have to route them out, since I don't know them offhand since the last increase.

Minimum Wage, 1931 - sought raise the base standard of living to at least co-exist with the poverty line

Minimum Wage, 2006 - a magnet for corporations to compete amongst each other to pay the lowest possible wages for the greatest number.

The Minimum Wage is a bigger hinderance in many ways than anything else these days.

[black magick hustla]

The minimum wage in mexico is around 4 US dollars per the 8-hour turn.

[LoneRed]

Kansas $2.65???!?!??!

Yes it is most likely a "right to work" state like Arizona . You have a right to work for as little as possible in hopes of gaining a crust of bread.

Also not mentioned here is the wage for service workers, which outside of states such as Oregon hovers between 2.15-2.65 based on the presumption that the customers will pay the persons salary in the form of tips.

This practice should be illegal.
