Laws that increase the minimum wage for workers
In 2006, the minimum wage in Ohio was $6.50 per hour. This rate was established following a ballot initiative in 2006 that aimed to gradually increase the minimum wage in the state. The wage was set to increase annually based on inflation, reflecting the cost of living adjustments.
well, it depends on many factors, and when it will be implemented, however, do remember that when minimum wage is raised, any store that pays below the new minimum wage will have to increase their employees wages too, and to pay for that, they will have to increase their cost of goods, and then those that make minimum wage will not have enough money to buy the now costly goods, and will then want increased minimum wage... do you see a pattern forming here?
The minimum wage in New Jersey is $8.25 an hour, or $2.13 an hour for tipped employees as of January 2014.
North Carolina does not have a scheduled minimum wage increase.
No. State laws only regulate the minimum your boss has to pay you. If the minimum wage goes up, it doesn't mean your wage goes up unless you are making below minimum wage. Some union collective agreements have provisions that deal with this.
The next scheduled increase occurs on January 1, next year. The amount of the increase is determined by the Consumer Price Index.

The federal minimum wage in the United States first reached $1.00 on May 1, 1956. This increase was part of the Fair Labor Standards Act, which established minimum wage laws to protect workers. Prior to this, the minimum wage had been set at lower amounts in previous years, with the first federal minimum wage introduced in 1938 at $0.25 per hour.
