The federal minimum wage has remained $7.25 per hour since 2009. But several states, and even some companies, have since taken matters into their own hands to pay employees a more livable wage.
Job search site Glassdoor compiled a list of these companies and used data from its platform to provide location information for where these employers are hiring. According to the list, many employers in the tech, retail and banking industry have committed to raising their minimum wage to at least $15 an hour.
Take a look below to see which companies you should apply to if you're looking to make far more than the federal minimum wage.
