get_minimum_wage
Returns the legal hourly minimum wage that applies at a US location on a date: the highest of the federal, state, county and city rates, which jurisdiction sets it, the minimum cash wage for tipped workers, special industry rates (for example California fast food, Los Angeles hotels), the next scheduled change, and the primary government source for each figure. Give an address (most accurate: it resolves the exact city and county, including unincorporated areas) or a state plus city and/or county. Rates can depend on employer size or region; pass employer_size to get one answer, otherwise every variant is listed. Free.
