2024 minimum wages
The average state minimum wage in 2024 is $10.69.
The top five highest 2024 statewide minimum wages were set to be as follows:
- Above $17.00 in Washington, D.C. after it is adjusted for inflation in July 2024;
- $17.00 in Washington;
- $16.00 in California,
- $15.69 in Connecticut; and
- $15.13 in New Jersey.
The lowest minimum wages based on state law were $5.15 in Georgia and Wyoming, which were lower than the federal government's requirement. When the state rate is lower than the federal rate, the federal minimum wage of $7.25 supersedes state law for most types of employees. Twenty (20) states used the federal minimum wage rate of $7.25.
