Do all states have a minimum wage?

The statement that not all states have a minimum wage is correct because some states have chosen to not implement a minimum wage law at all or have minimum wage rates that are set at $0. However, it's essential to recognize that while the federal government does set a national minimum wage, states have the authority to create their own minimum wage laws. If a state does establish a minimum wage, it typically cannot be lower than the federal minimum wage, but it can be higher.

Additionally, there are a few states that follow specific laws regarding minimum wage, and in some instances, cities or counties within those states may have even higher minimum wage rates than the state requirement. Thus, while most states do implement some form of minimum wage, it is indeed accurate to state that there are exceptions, reflecting the diversity of state policies regarding wages.
