Question

Hi, what is the minimum wage for and 18 year old ?

Answer 1

Same as it is for any other working adult in that state

Answer 2

That would depend on the country, state, and even city you are working.

For those under me, including Ryan D, who is a fool, who think the federal wage IS the wage every where.  Each STATE is not mandated as to what they set their minumum wage at.  In fact, about 50% of the states in the country have minimum wages ABOVE the federal level.

Answer 3

IN NJ IS $8

Answer 4

in GA its 7.50

Answer 5

According to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) it is "$6.55 per hour effective July 24, 2008."  this is the national lowest limit.  So no state can give you less than this.  Starting tomorrow you can make no less than 6.55 an hour.

Here is the site.  you can click on your state and it will tell you:

Answer 6

I believe it varies from state to state, while the federal gov sets a lower limit.

I'd google your state's minimum wage or check your state's department of labor.

Answer 7

Right now, it is 5.50 to 5.75 an hour.  It will soon rise to $6

This also depends on the state of which you are living in or country.

Answer 8

The nations minimum wage is $6.75

Answer 9

I don't think minimum wage has anything to do with age, it's just the minimum amount of money they can pay you.

In Canada, minimum wage is $8.

Answer 10

NO> it doesn't depend on anything.. the 1st guy is a moron.  The NATIONAL minium wage rate ALL THROUGH AMERICA, is currently 7.25 per hour.

Answer 11

Minimum wage is federally regulated and is not based on your age nor does if vary from state to state or city  to city.  It is the same for everyone.  The federal minimum wage is $5.85 per hour effective July 24, 2007

Answer 12

Same as for any age.  Depends on what state you are in.

Answer 13

it's around $7.00 depends on when you live but i would say average is $7

Answer 14

I guess it depends on which state you live in I was 18 and I was making 10.00 an hour I live in NJ though minimum wage here is 7.50 I think it depends on how good you are at doing your work they should give you a raise. I started making 7.75 then 8.30 and then as soon as I got out of highschool i got 10 and then 10.50 and then 12 and then 12.45 I am 21 now making 13 an hour I think my boss likes me and I also do my best at my job so.

Answer 15

Depends on the state.  And min. wage is the same for everybody in the state.  If your employer says minimum wage is lower for younger people, try to get them to say it on tape.
