Minimum wage 19 year old 2010 April 1st?
Minimum wage has nothing to do with your age if you are 18 or over (there may be "training wages" for workers under 18). The federal minimum wage is $7.25. States may use that minimum wage or may have higher minimum wages, so the state where you live may have a higher requirement. Realize that some positions are eligible for a "tip credit," meaning that your employer may pay you less than the statutory minimum wage if they can show that you earn enough tips to make up the difference. The wage plus tips should, however, still equal at least minimum wage.
