Minimum wage implies that there must be a minimum amount of compensation paid to an employee when labor is performed by him/her. A government has the power to legislate the rate of a minimum wage in a country. An employee must never be paid wages lower than the rate of minimum wage. This is because it would be considered illegal to do so. The current minimum wage in New York City is $11.00/hour (Foner, 2018).
