Varies from state to state usually from $6.00/hour to $8.00/hour. A few states have no minimum wage laws (Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee) are I assume all of those are economic and social utopias as a result.

A pound is one and a half dollars so 8 dollars is pretty much our min wage for under 21 year olds...i think.

$8.00 is about (or atleast was) £4.00...our min wage for people under 21 is £5.50 or something...

A pound is almost exactly 2 dollars.
