Isn't there a Federal minimum wage? Don't the states have to respect it? California's is higher, but I thought everybody had to respect Federal minimum wage, at least in the US.

Weirdly enough, the Federal minimum wage applies to states that track the Federal minimum. Some states have no minimum wage and some have minimum wages different from the Federal minimum. I think it's a strange system, but there you go.
