Somehow it seems that instead of just one minimum wage, each state is

That is really the right answer.You have people like Nancy and our guy
Scott living in California trying to tell us what the minimum wage
should be in Arkansas.
Even the federal government understands that and the GS pay scale is
different in different states. A person in San Francisco makes 41%
more than someone in Little Rock at the same pay grade. (Locality
adjustment)

In that regard a $10 minimum wage would be $14.10 in Frisco.
