The federal minimum wage is unconstitutional. It applies without regard to whether the work in question involves "commerce ... among the states."

In any event, minimum wages in general, I hate to say, are coercive and opposed to the liberty of contract. If someone wants to work for two dollars an hour, I don't think that the government is entitled to stop him from doing so.
