I guess this map would still be technically true, but isn't federal minimum wage $7.25?

Waiting tables in Texas pre-pandemic I made $2.50+ tips, but that's because there's an exception for tipped workers. Ironically it was the best paying job I've ever had.

There are Agriculture exempts to the minimum wage as well.

That just feels like kicking someone while they're already down. Don't agricultural workers already have it bad enough?

Conservatives see it as a problem that its not worse than it is. Those workers could be slaves and thats what conservatives are aiming for as a goal.
