Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

States are allowed to enact laws that set minimum wages higher than the federal minimum wage, but they cannot set a lower minimum wage. As of 2021, 29 states and the District of Columbia have minimum wages higher than the federal level.

Answer: D 
 According to federal law, employees who earn tips must be paid a minimum of $2.13 per hour by their employer, but if their hourly wage plus tips does not add up to at least the federal minimum wage, the employer must pay the difference. This is known as the "tip credit." Some states have their own laws regarding tipped employees that may provide greater protections or higher minimum wages.

Therefore, choices A and D are both true regarding minimum wages in the United States.
