Minimum Wage Set to Increase in 8 states

The minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. 18 states and the District of Columbia, however, have minimum wages that are in excess of the Federal minimum. 


In 2012, minimum wage rates in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Montana, Ohio, Oregon, Vermont and Washington will rise between 28 and 37 cents per hour on Jan. 1, thanks to state laws requiring that minimum wage keeps pace with inflation.
