All of them, since there is a federal minimum wage that applies to all states who don't set their own higher minimum wage limit.

Many states had passed laws regulating child labor, minimum wages, and working conditions.
In 1850, there was no federal minimum wage in the United States; labor laws regarding wages were primarily determined at the local or state level. Wages varied significantly depending on the industry, location, and the skill level of workers, but many unskilled laborers earned between $1 and $2 per day. The concept of a minimum wage as we understand it today did not emerge until the 20th century.
The answer to your question depends on where the worker is working and how many hours per week they are working. In the United States, the federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour, but some states have higher minimum wages. Assuming the federal minimum wage as that is the absolute minimum in the United States, and assuming a full-time employee who works 40 hours per week: $7.25 × 40 = $290/week $290 × 52 = $15,080/annually $15,080 / 12 = $1256.67/month - before taxes Federal minimum wage for workers who receive a certain threshold of tips per month is $2.13 per hour (again, some states have higher minimum tipped employee wages). However, an employer is only permitted to pay the tipped employee rate if the employee's wages plus tips equals the federal minimum wage/hour rate, so the gross per month would theoretically be at least the same.
This really depends on state you live in. Many states have different minimum wages. They can range from five dollars an hour to over nine dollars an hour.
No many states have a 2 week minimum which I think is the longest and just as common. They can't make you wait for more than that though between paydays.
