      Oklahoma isn’t $2. They don’t use finite dollar amounts in their minimum wage law; it’s tied to the federal minimum wage.

      And Georgia only has the $5.15 for businesses with less than 6 people that don’t do interstate commerce.

        There should be no circumstance that $5.15 should be legal.

        There should be no circumstance where $7.25 should be legal, either.
