Minimum wage is not determined by age, but the type of work done. If you are 50 and working at McDonalds you and the 20 year old working next to you make the same wage. Minimum wage is 7.50 to 8.00 an hour.
National minimum wage is currently set at $7.25 per hour. However, minimum wage is set at the state level and thus varies from state to state. There are initiatives in place to raise the minimum wage in 2013.
