With the exception of the federal entities indicated by the Constitution's Clauses 16 & 17 of Section 8 of Article I as examples, entities under the Congress's exclusive legislative control, the states have never delegated to the feds, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate intrastate wages.

If they could figure out a way to stuff them into a warehouse hooked up to some suspended animation machine and only roll them out on election day, you can bet that they would be doing it.
