The State law excludes from coverage any employment that is subject to the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act.

that is from the federal DOL. It's not a joke.

well, that copy and paste didn't come across well.

What it said- minimum wage $2.65 Overtime after 46 hours.

the Kansas laws do not apply to any job that is covered under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act.

I knew the link was accurate, but I'm wondering what the government of Kansas is think for letting allowing a ridiculously low minimum wage to go unchanged. This leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Well, at least you can afford to put something in your mouth to taste. Just imagine what those poor schlubs in Kansas can't afford on $2.65 an hour.

Very sad indeed. What do you think the government needs to do about it?

Well, it seems raising the minimum wage to something a bit more than $2.65 would be a start.

It needs to be at least 8. I can't see anybody living on less than that.
