Upon inception it was set at $0.25. It is now $7.25.

    Just means you’re not poor. I know loads, and they’re all in the poorest part of the country.

    Dollar General, McDonald’s, Krogers, 7-11 just to name a few that you’d recognize. Used to be Walmart but they upped pay a couple of years ago.

      yup, I made minimum wage at a Krogers back in 2010 and the folks working there now are making the same $7.25 I was back then.

      Maybe it’s a regional thing then, those types of jobs in my area all earn more than the federal minimum wage and even the stage minimum which is $15/hr now.

      That said, aside from DG, those other companies are franchise operations. Still, thank you for honestly answering and not just resorting to name calling.

        Well I mean of course. Wages are lower in low cost of living areas. In the poorest areas, wages are lowest

          Understandable, I was mainly curious about the “large corporations” but it seems there are a few good examples provided. Thanks!
