The cost of living in New York City is vastly different than the cost of living in Almost-a-Ghost-Town, Oklahoma. Decisions on minimum wage should be made at the lower levels of government (city, county, etc.), not the federal level. Competition help will sort it out over time.
Dam! I sound so conservative!
And to be fair, many states do exceed the minimum for this reason, but you are right.
Costs vary greatly from state to state. It's the same reason why similar jobs make different amounts between different states.
$15 in Alabama would go much further than $15 in Maryland
