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.
The minimum wage in the United States is set by a network of federal, state, and local statutes. Workers generally must be paid no less than the statutory minimum wage as specified by either the federal, state, or local government. As of July 2015, the federal government mandates a nationwide minimum wage level of $7.25 per hour.
