Reply to comment by pennieblack in Maine Will Have a New Minimum Wage Beginning on January 1st by Shake-Spear4666
Thanks for finding those stats! That definitely seems higher than I would have thought, which makes me wonder where exactly those workers are located within the state. I'd expect it's really only the more rural employers that can get away with paying that little for labor.

I'd be curious to know how many people are still making minimum wage in this job market (outside of tipped workers), if anyone has the stats for the state on hand. It seems like the market has pulled well ahead of the legislated minimum and isn't really showing any signs of slowing down, especially in the lower pay brackets.

EOTC also covered cost of college outside of loans (I paid cash for Associates and qualified), will the SLRTC do the same? I'm assuming with "Loan" in the name that's a no, but could be wrong.
