How to read this table
The U.S. Department of Labor snapshot is the national comparison source and was updated 1 July 2026. A $7.25 result means the federal floor is the effective baseline for this snapshot; it does not mean every worker is covered the same way.
Read the DOL state minimum-wage table. For a binding answer, use the linked state agency and check city, county, industry and worker-category rules.
