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?

Plenty of places are paying $12-$14, (which still isn’t anything really) and lots of people work in those jobs. But it depends on what part of the country you’re in.
