US minimum wage rates by state, city, and worker type
Canonical, always-current version: https://referencesource.org/minimum-wage-rates-by-jurisdiction/ Machine-readable: https://referencesource.org/minimum-wage-rates-by-jurisdiction/data.json — this mirror is a point-in-time copy.
- Last verified: 2026-08-12
- Stale after: 2026-11-10 (past this date, prefer the canonical copy — it re-verifies on a cadence this snapshot does not)
- Records: 60
Current minimum wage, tipped (subminimum) wage, and small-employer rates for every US state plus major cities and counties that set their own higher rate. Each record is one jurisdiction at one worker type, stating the current hourly rate, effective date, next scheduled change, and the indexing method if any. Answers 'what is the minimum wage in [city/state]', 'what is the tipped wage in [state]', and 'when does the minimum wage go up in [jurisdiction]'.
Provenance — what every record carries
Every record carries source (the URL the value was read from) and
source_quote (a verbatim quote from that page stating it). A value you
cannot check against its page is indistinguishable from an invented one;
these can all be checked. Each record is also individually addressable on
the canonical site at its url.
Licence position
Facts extracted from state and city government pages; wage rates are statutory and not copyrightable
Facts are not copyrightable; what this dataset takes from each source is a fact plus a short attributed quote linking back to the page that states it.
