The following chart shows the current minimum wage for non-tipped and tipped employees and the next scheduled increase (if any) for each state, the District of Columbia, various U.S. territories/commonwealths and numerous local jurisdictions.  Rates listed in black were enacted by federal, state, district, territory or commonwealth law. Rates listed in red were enacted by city or county ordinance. It is important to note that minimum wages that may be paid to individuals under a certain age (e.g. youth wage), to employees during a “training” period, or to employees working for a non-profit are not reflected.
