"They's a workin'." - R. Schrock trippin' on M. Stipe
"the bull and the bear are marking
their territories
they're leading the blind with
their international glories"
(from "Daysleeper" - REM)
Go here Lots of scary information about the minimum wage (or lack thereof) in America. Notable entries include: Alaska (the highest in the U.S. at $7.17/hr.), California (at $6.75/hr.), Kansas (at $2.65/hr.), and Mississippi (no minimum wage). (Note that in some cases, the Federal min. wage overrides the State min. wage.) The entries on American Samoa and Guam also make interesting reading.
