wages

While minimum wage is a pretty cut-and-dry case across the board, raising at either the federal or state level, prevailing wages are a different story entirely.

For much of our history, Arizona, we paid our wages as we saw fit. That all changed, however, when in 2007, President George W. Bush established the $7.25 minimum wage.

Changing how Arizona's tipped workers are paid could benefit big business on the back of its most important asset.
