minimum wage increase?
I keep hearing that minimum wage is going up in June. I live in WV and minimum wage is $7.25, People Keep telling me it's going up to $7.75 or $8.00. But I can not find anything about it, Does anyone know where I can look to see if it will be going up or not? Thanks

There are no Federal minimum wage increases set for this year.

When I checked their State website it forwarded you to the Federal Minimum wage website so I am guessing that they don't have a State mandated rate. Some Cities can set wages and you would have to check those individually. But there is not a Federal minimum wage increase set for this year.

Ok. I was just making a point. I know some states have a minimum wage, had no clue if W.V. did or not.

Minimum wage is federal but states can set it higher if they want I do believe. If Im wrong Im sorry I dont get into this stuff lol

up the wages, up the prices (of living), sounds good, but it all evens out in the long run.
Don't get me wrong, I would love an increase !!

As for an increase, it doesn't look to be in the cards for your state. But that is a very good website that can give you the info you need. Good Luck!!

I don't know how long a minimum wage increase helps. Has anyone ever seen it calculated? I imagine it could help for a month or maybe 2 but after that , as said before, everything else goes up so it doesn't help in the long run. A 25 or 50 cents an hour raise sounds wonderful but if the price of bread goes up for $1.40 to $1.80 and everything else goes up too, then it didn't help any.

In my years and different wages, I can tell you one thing for sure.
The more you make, the more you spend. LOL
