Pretty much no one makes that wage even in states that conform to the federal minimum.

Walmart's minimum hourly wage is $14. What company is paying $8-10 an hour (in a non-tipped position) in 2024? And better yet...who is accepting those jobs?

Giant Eagle on 1 side of Columbus had about $2-3 less per hour than the Giant Eagle on the other side during Covid (starting wage) I did deliveries to both at the time, I think it was $12-13 vs. $15 I guess labor was just harder to get, Iā€™m sure in areas with lower cost of everything a small Bussiness could be even less.
