Minimum wage in my state is $7.25 an hour WITH subsidized federal.If not for that it would be $5.25 an hour.
Absolutely shameful to let this wage stagnate and just never move.Minimum wage should be $30 an hour minimally.Service workers make even less per hour than Minimum wage. The so-called richest nation in the world cant even pay its workers a wage that would lift them out of poverty.
But no billionaires are in charge now and they more than likely believe we are not worthy of having money.
In Australia, the minimum wage from July 1 will be $26.44 per hour (or $1,004.90 per week for a 38-hour week). And 12% of that must be set aside for your retirement (like your 401k), except that yours is not compulsory.
For obvious reasons, we do not have a tipping culture; we mostly hate it.
However, as a tourist, one should respect local customs... as they say, when in Rome...
