Later this month, the federal minimum wage will increase to $6.65 -- hardly anywhere close to what it should be, but an improvement from where we are now. Fortunately, a number of states will also be increasing their minimum wage rates even higher than the federal rate:
* $6.85 per hour in Nevada
* $7.15 in Pennsylvania (for smaller employers to match the rate already for large employers)
* $7.25 per hour in West Virginia and Illinois
