America on $7.25 an hour. By Shannon Stapleton. Federal minimum wage in the United States currently stands at $7.25 an hour, or $1,200-1,300 per month, and hasn't been raised since 2009. Its place relative to the median wage -- less than 40 percent -- makes it one of the lowest minimum wages across OECD countries.
Proponents of raising the minimum wage note that a full-time job (40 hours/week X 52 weeks per year) that pays minimum wage will pay $15,080 per year â hardly a living wage. Even at a minimum wage of $8.25, people earning minimum wage will only make $17,160.
