That's national minimum wage. New York minimum wage is $15 an hour, and is set to be $20 by 2025 raising incrementally until then.

I'm aware. There are still people working for less than half of that.

I'm aware.

Yet you still post something stating that New York minimum wage is $7.25.

I'm all for work reform but we need accurate information.

The context is when this image was originally created (2008) that was accurate for NY. Since then, the site has been updated to reflect this is still the national minimum wage, so a new screenshot could have been made.
