Check out the table below for current minimum wages:

US federally mandated hourly minimum wage = $7.25, (totals $15,080 for 52 weeks)

California mandated hourly minimum wage = $9, (totals $18,720 for 52 weeks)

San Francisco mandated hourly minimum wage = $12.25 ($25,480 for 52 weeks)

The federal poverty guideline for a family of 2 is $15, 930 so any family of 2 or more making less than that would be considered below the poverty line.

Do you think the federal minimum wage should be higher than $7.25 per hour?
