Exploring the Minimum Wage Landscape: A Revealing Map of the United States
Have you ever wondered how minimum wages vary across America? A fascinating map of the United States recently caught my eye, showcasing the stark differences in hourly pay from state to state. Created by Reddit user blue_strat, this eye-opening visualization paints a clear picture of wage disparities across the country.
At first glance, the map reveals a patchwork of colors, each representing different minimum wage levels. What immediately stands out is the number of states still adhering to the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. These states, primarily clustered in the South and parts of the Midwest, include Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, North Dakota, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire.
