It makes perfect sense. The minimum wage has many factors, including average housing cost, average cost of food, etc.
In my honest opinion, the national minimum wage should be raised to $15 to support the cost of living.

Raising minimum wage just raises the cost of living on all spectrums. If minimum wage were $15 dollars an hour, the cost of gas, food, housing would increase with it.
But still, this doesn't have any relevance to what I said beforehand. That it makes no sense to have different minimum wage rates in different states. Because if they were all the same, you better bet the cost of living would be near the same everywhere.
