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.
What is a Living Wage? Just last month, the federal minimum wage â currently at $7.25 an hour â celebrated its three-year anniversary. At that rate, a security guard, retail store clerk or nanny working full-time for minimum wage makes just $15,080 a year. Thatâs barely above the poverty line for a single person ($11,344) and far below it for a family of four ($22,314).
