What is minimum wage in south carolina?

Okay, here's the information about the minimum wage in South Carolina, formatted in Markdown with the requested links:

South Carolina currently has a state minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. This matches the federal minimum wage. Since South Carolina's minimum wage is the same as the federal rate, the Federal%20Minimum%20Wage applies to most employees.

It's important to note that unlike some states, South Carolina does not have its own law requiring a higher minimum wage. Therefore, unless specifically exempted, most covered nonexempt employees in South Carolina are entitled to the federal minimum wage.

There can be Exemptions from the minimum wage for certain types of employees, such as tipped employees, some student workers, and those in specific occupations. Tipped employees can be paid $2.13 per hour as long as their tips bring them up to at least the minimum wage; otherwise, the employer must make up the difference.

Because South Carolina defaults to the federal minimum wage, any changes to the Federal%20Law regarding minimum wage would directly affect workers in the state.
