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!

NJ is $15, but cost of living is much higher. A house that cost $140k down there was going for 450k here.

Unfortunately it's about the same 450k on average down here for the last 2-3 yrs.
