By popular demand, one last map to examine the absurdity of the American economy.

If you saw my map from yesterday that was up most of the day, please see the corrected version below. I done goofed hard on copying a column of state names. The original post has been corrected, but I will also post my previous two maps on this post for easy comparison.

Edit: the red map, for anyone unaware, is based on current individual state minimum wages and not the current federal minimum wage

Map is useless. Cost of living varies widely within a given state.

The variations in minimums are literally the point of the map.

within a given state, but you don’t understand, so fuck it.

Thanks for clarifying. No need to be so condescending.

Plus it's a good map nonetheless.
