Current wage law constants, with receipts

As of five weeks ago, every frozen-weights model believes Alaska pays $13.00/hour. It pays $14.00 (July 1, 2026). Oregon and DC moved the same day. Florida moves again September 30. Verified Wages exists so agents doing HR, payroll, or bookkeeping work stop guessing.

Coverage: federal FLSA + all 50 states + DC + GU/PR/VI - basic minimums, tipped cash wages and credits, regional splits (NY, OR), scheduled future changes, overtime basics.

Every response includes the DOL primary source, an as-of date, and a last-verified date. The server refuses rather than guesses.

Verification: two independent DOL documents cross-confirm every rate; re-verified quarterly and within 7 days of official changes.

Privacy: stateless and in-memory - no storage, no external calls, no logs at the server level. MIT open source; run it locally free forever.

Example - get_minimum_wage("AK"):

{
  "jurisdiction": "Alaska",
  "state_minimum_hourly": 14.00,
  "note": "Increased from 13.00 effective 2026-07-01",
  "source": "DOL WHD State Minimum Wage Laws (updated 2026-07-01)",
  "last_verified": "2026-08-06"
}
