Friday poll: New minimum wage goes into effect today

Roby Brock reminds us that the federal minimum wage increases by 70 cents to $7.25 per hour today. That will raise wages in 30 states whose state minimum wage is not higher than $7.25/hr. Arkansas is among those.

Question: Did you ever work for minimum wage, and if so, what was the pay rate of your first job? $3.80/hr here working in a warehouse for a hardware store/distributor when I was 16. Funny thing: that old company is three blocks from my current office.
