According to The Economic Policy Institute, there are 30 states (plus DC) where the minimum is higher than the federal wage, and a few localities that also have higher rates (though it looks like only Birmingham, AL is in a state that sticks to $7.25). So I guess I'm not shocked at this -- even in the remaining 20 states, there's got to be a push to increase those wages, especially given inflation's impact on groceries and rent.
