[edit] Ohio
Is $5.15 listed for Ohio correct? As of April 14, 2006, the U.S. Dept. of Labor listed $4.25 for Ohio.
A bill was recently passed (or perhaps will be passed soon).
- Whichever one is true, either the image or the article is out of date and should be corrected. 65.43.227.76 13:24, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Minimum wage raised in Virginia
Minimum wage was recently (sometime within the pased few months) raised in Virginia. I only know this because it recently caused some of my coworkers to get a raise to $5.75, the new minimum wage here. However, I can't find any online documentation to back this up. - July 2005
[edit] Reply
Not true; Virginia minimum wage is still equal to the federal minimum wage. (Source: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/02/07/AR2006020701703.html ) --Heath 68.191.7.126 23:42, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Minimum wage just raised in Maryland
The Maryland Senate, on Tuesday, January 17th, 2006, overrode a veto by Maryland Governor Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr. that effectively placed into law, an minimum wage increase from $5.15 to $6.15 an hour, making Maryland the 18th state to have a minimum wage higher than the federal $5.15. Law to take effect in 30 days. Source.

- Without a state law, Federal law applies. Chadlupkes 23:15, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
- I think this needs to be mentioned in the article, as it isn't clear what it means not to have minimum wage laws.
[edit] New Map Uploaded
Just uploaded an updated map per the Department of Labor's website. Hope this helps avoid or dissolves confusion (for a while at least)! Bkozy 21:33, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Table?
Would the page be clearer if the information is grouped into a table? State | Minimum Wage | Notes
http://www.alalabor.state.al.us/faq.htm The minimum wage in Alabama could not possibly be $10.95 Accoprding to state page, it is still the federal minimum
