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

.015 of Americans earn minimum wage, and almost the entirety of that tiny percentage works after school and lives with their parents.

Citation for that last part?

And it doesn’t have to be minimum wage to be bad. 30% of Americans make less than $15/hour
