The state of Washington has the highest minimum wage, $8.55 per hour.
McClatchy: On Friday, lowest-wage workers get a raise
Two previous wage increases, one in 2007, the other in 2008, pushed the federal wage to $5.85 and then to the current $6.55 an hour. The third, which goes into effect Friday, will push it to $7.25 an hour.
Eighteen states and the District of Colombia already have minimum wages that are higher or equal to $7.25 an hour.
