text: Yes (short answer). Each state may impose a higher minimum wage than another but never lower than the federal government's mandate (currently: $5.15). You need to check with the local government. Most states do adhere strictly to the federal standard (neither raising or lowering their own standard). Vermont is, for example, one state which has a higher rate (though I don't recall their rate).\n\nSorry, I read the question wrong... thought you were asking about min. wage. Of course there's no other way to find the wage rate without the hours and total amount. Simple algebra:\n\nr * h = t  (r: rate per hour, h: hours worked, t: total amount earned)
