    2x minimum wage for a 40 hour work week is the salary threshold. If you make less your employer is breaking the law. In California the salary threshold is currently $64,480.

      I’m bad at math, but I’m pretty sure I make more than that. I live in Indiana. Minimum wage is sickeningly low. $7.25/hr.

        That’s federal minimum wage. So it’s the $35,568 from the article which Biden is trying to raise to $55,000.
