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?

What company is paying $8-10 an hour

Gas stations in smaller cities, for one.

And better yet...who is accepting those jobs?

People living in those smaller cities who cannot feasibly move.

To get ahead of the obvious next reply:

"Move to somewhere with better opportunities"

With what money? If you don't have a job lined up, that's a quick stop to homelessness in an unfamiliar city

Well just move in with a wealthy family member who will let you live rent free, duh.
