If you had used the term "effective" I wouldn't have commented. I assumed the post that started this (U.K. minimum wage) wasn't an "effective" wage but a law.
And although that "effective" number may sound nice, looking at the wiki article some states have no minimum wage (making the minimum wage $7.25); I wonder what the "effective" minimum wage is for those states?
