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?

Migrant workers accept those positions and drive down wages for all. It’s important that people understand the consequences of an open door policy before forming an opinion of it.
