Apparently the Democrats (read : Sanders) proposal to introduce a $15/hour minimum wage has been defeated twice in congress. It's been watered down such that the increase will occur incrementally - the $15 will only be reached by 2025. Apparently 8 Democrats crossed the floor to vote with the GOP.I believe that the state can have their own 'minimum wage' over and above what is mandated.
The current US minimum wage is $7.25/hr, among the lowest in the industrialised world. Joke of a country.
Not sure how many states pay overs, but it does occur.
