$5.15 in IL, just got raised to eventually $6.50 by Jan. of 2005. I agree that it is a stupid idea. The government shouldn't tell businesses how much to pay their employees, they should pay them what they are worth. If you want to make more money, work harder, remain dedicated, and if your boss is a dick who doesn't give raises, find a diff. job. pretty soon word will get around and no one will work for him. like someone said before supply and demand.
