What states are the state minimum wage more than the federal minimum wage?

State laws never override the federal level. In some states the minimum wage is 2 dollars. Some states do not even mandate minimum wage but reference the federal minimum wage act as a guide.

Answer 3

They sort of override each other, in that you have to pay the higher of the two.

In other words, the state can set a higher minimum wage than specified by federal law, and in that state you must pay the state minimum wage instead.

A state could hypothetically establish a minimum wage that was lower than the federal one, but you'd still have to pay the federal minimum wage anyway.
