Complete 56-jurisdiction panel (50 states + DC + 5 territories) of the minimum hourly wage floor, transcribed 2026-10-01 from the DOL Wage and Hour Division's consolidated and tipped-employee tables (effective July 1, 2026): statutory rate, tipped cash wage, effective floor after the federal $7.25 backstop, gap to federal, documented wage-pressure tiers, tip-credit share for hospitality labor-cost models, and Michigan's announced 2027-01-01 $15.00 increase. Florida corrected to $15.00 / $11.98 tipped effective 2026-09-30 (Amendment 2 schedule; the DOL table predates it). Wage rates are facts (Feist v. Rural) from a US federal agency (17 U.S.C. 105, public domain) -> commercial_use=yes. Join on geo_code (ISO 3166-2) or state_abbr for state-level labor-cost outlook, wage-pressure lead scoring, and pricing-power features.
