In New York, for example, potential McDonald's employees must be 15 years old. In Australia, the age is 14. If you are interested in working for McDonald's, you should contact your local franchise to determine their age requirements. Each state determines legal age for employment.
Residents of Connecticut pay the highest federal, state and local taxes in the country â some $7,150 on average per person in 2013, according to the latest data from the Tax Foundation. (That's likely because the state also had the highest per-capita income at $60,658.). Your tax burden also comes in many different forms, depending on your state's tax structure. In Oregon, for example, nearly 40% of the state revenues come from individual income taxes. Six states (Alaska, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington and Wyoming) collect no income tax. But those states lean more heavily than others on sales and property taxes to pay government expenses.
At the bottom of the Tax Foundationâs rankings were these states with the highest tax burdens in the nation: 1  New Jersey at 11.8% of income. 2  New York at 11.7% of income. 3  Connecticut at 11.1% of income. 4  Maryland at 10.8% of income. 5  Hawaii at 10.6% of income.
