• Switzerland has the highest figure in the dataset at $3,804 per month, although its minimum wages are set regionally rather than nationwide.
• Eight of the top 10 countries are European, with Australia and New Zealand rounding out the group.
• The U.S. ranks 25th out of 130 countries at $1,257 per month, based on the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour.

One reason for America’s position is that the federal minimum wage hasn’t increased in 17 years. It has remained at $7.25 an hour since July 2009, the longest stretch without an increase since the federal minimum wage was established.

Minimum wage is a lot higher in some states for example here in Washington it's $17 per hour but it's higher in the city of seattle. $17 per hour times 2,080 equals $35,360 per year or about $3,000/mo.
