I Searched around to see if there was a thread started about this, and didn't find one so if there is one sorry. But i was just wanting to see how big of a difference it is in every state...
I'll start first (even tho mines probably the worst lol.) I'm from Nebraska and our Wage is $5.15 an HR. I honestly think its pretty sad. --------------------  |

Holy Crap thats low!
 Heres what i found on a website: On September 12th, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed SB1835, which raised the 2007 California minimum wage to $7.50 on January 1, 2007, and to $8 an hour on January 1, 2008. dont do crap for you round here in california though, everything is expensive |

Nobody here could live off of $5.15 an hour. Our minimum wage is supposed to go to $7.50 in the next 2 years. But $7.50 an hour still wouldn't be enough for me to live on my own. Its ridiculous. -------------------- |

In the UK, from October 2007 the adult minimum wage rate will rise to £5.52
That is approx $11.18 per hour. We call it the McDonalds rate. People judge cost of living in different parts of the world by the price of a big mac meal / minimum wage Big mac meal approx $8.50 in UK |
