Upon inception it was set at $0.25. It is now $7.25.

    My point is they may have been remembering the minimum as it was relevant to the work they did at the time, not necessarily the federal minimum.

      It is illegal for a company in any state to pay lower than federal minimum wage regardless whether or not the state’s minimum wage is set lower.

      Full stop.

        Jobs that are considered exempt from federal minimum wage can still have a different set state exempt minimum wage that is higher than the mandated exempt federal wage.

        For example, say the exempt wage is $2.75, a state can mandate $3.00 instead.
