INTRODUCTION
This bulletin presents, in tabular chart form, an analysis of mini
mum wage rates and coverage established by statute and/or wage
order as of August 1,1965. A total of 36 jurisdictions have established
minimum wage rates. As shown in the bulletin, the rates were set
by statute in 23 jurisdictions and by a total of 159 wage orders in 21
jurisdictions. An additional 3 States—Illinois, Kansas and
Louisiana—have minimum wage laws on the statute books but have
no rates in effect.
Since publication of Bulletin 267, Part II, January 1, 1963, which
this bulletin supersedes, 4 States—Delaware, Indiana, Maryland,
and Michigan—enacted minimum wage laws for the first time, all of
which set a statutory rate; Oklahoma amended its wage board law to
establish a statutory rate; 15 States increased the statutory rate in
existing laws; and 13 jurisdictions increased rates in 85 wage orders.
For the history of State minimum wage legislation and an analysis
of the basic provisions of minimum wage statutes (e.g., authority of
minimum wage administrator, appointment of wage boards, pro
mulgation of wage orders, and related provisions), see Part I, Bulletin
267 (in process of revision).
The research for this report was done and the report was written
by Regina M. Neitzey and Mary C. Manning, Labor Law Branch,
under the direction of Alice A. Morrison, Chief, Division of Legisla
tion and Standards.
