It says $7.40 here in MI, which I find weird that it's less in NY, considering cost of living here is much less.

WA... $9.19 Surprising considering we don't have a state income tax. Though, I haven't had an hourly job in a long time. I'm a salaried employee.

$7.25 in TX. (It was $5.15 when I was in college 10 yrs ago! That seems like a pretty good jump to me)

@tororojo: I remember my job in middle school started me off at $5.15... about 10 years ago, too.

Another Ontarian here, so $10.25. Canadian dollar has been at or above par for a couple years now. At the current exchange rate, $10.25 CAD = $10.41 USD

@Rescuemom10: It is! I love SF, too but it's pretty pricey to live there.

10.25 here in BC, cost of living is higher in Canada though, so I'm not sure how big the difference really is.

Yep, 10.25$ here in Ontario - although technically where I live, Quebec, it's 9.90$ right now & going up to 10.15$ May 1st. I live across the river though so we work/shop/etc in Ontario & live in Quebec.
But I'm fairly sure we get more taken off in Fed. Tax & cpp/ei.
