The map above shows how much entry level wages per hour have increased over and above inflation between 1935 (3 years before the federal minimum wage was introduced) and 2024 by state.

And finally Illinois is perhaps the most interesting state.
It had the highest entry level hourly wage in 1935 at $0.67/hour, but by 2024 it’s starting hourly wage was 39th in the country at $14.06/hour, which is barely more than the state’s minimum wage of $13/hour.
