Reply With Quoteno, jobs in the USA are required to pay at least federal minimal wage, which is fixed and not index linked. Some states have minimal wage which is above federal.
Are jobs in the US required to give a yearly raise based on inflation?
My question is do jobs in the US or any other countries have to give a mandatory raise to keep up with inflation and how much of a percent is it?
no, jobs in the USA are required to pay at least federal minimal wage, which is fixed and not index linked. Some states have minimal wage which is above federal.
Lol, in Germany a federal minimum wage is always rejected by conservative politicians and in statements you always get the feeling that a minum wage is something like communism...Originally Posted by wildcat

I wish it was linked to the inflation, it would have saved me a ****-load of rage attacks
...well, It is......is something like communism...
Federal minimum wage is $5.15, CA it is $8.
Not only do we have minimum wages forced on us but many unions have their wages pegged to the minimum wage.
So every raise in that wage is also a raise in the union wages.
That's so much!
I think minimum wage in France (SMIC) is indexed to inflation
Florida it's 7.25
And you still get fvcked at the drive through.
Often, union contracts will have clauses that provide for an annual COLA (cost of living adjustment), which is tied to the estimated increase in inflation.
And you still can't survive on it.I was working 2 jobs and both were min wage and never seeing my kids or wife and barely scrapping by.But its still better than no income right now!!
Illinois it's $8.25
Where'd you get $5.15? The Federal Minimum Wage is $7.25. That's why many states have the same - $7.25.

Maybe that's what Messican farmworkers get.
