State and Local Minimum Wage Increases in 2025

Written by Daniel Rafeedie | July 21, 2025

In the United States, the federal minimum wage has remained at $7.25 per hour since 2009. However, many states, cities, and counties have established their own, often higher, minimum wage laws. When federal, state, and local rates differ, employers must pay the highest applicable rate.
