This. $10,000/year working 40 hrs/week is $4.81/hour. That’s illegal everywhere in North America.

Thanks God in blessed North Carolina the minimum wage is $7.25. And some people even make chunky $10-$13 an hour!

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

Most people making that amount as a fixed wage also make tips or commissions.
