To be fair, many states and cities have their own minimum wages higher than the federal minimum. I'll let you guess which states don't.

The ones where the people are most afraid of communism and think minimum wage is socialism?

For anyone about to downvote - it's a quote from Inglorious Basterds ^

It’s an older quote, sir, but it checks out.

50 states makes this game too difficult. Can we just guess colors instead?

I live in a red state with an $11/hr minimum wage. We got that by amending the constitution, thereby overriding the legislature which was opposed to the increase. Unfortunately $11/hr is not even close to enough to live on here so apparently it's time to raise it via another constitutional amendment. Sigh

Gotta double it to catch up, and pin it to inflation at the same time so it stops falling behind.

Surprisingly, Florida has a higher minimum wage--nearly double that of the federal minimum, and will reach $15 in 2026. Of course, you can't survive on that working 40 hours a week.
