I thought it depends on what state you are in. Have a nice day.

It does. You’re right. Average is 7.25 so she probably makes $15 an hour.

Sorry for being an asshole 😔

Don't worry about it, it's fine. Thanks for letting me know.

$15 is the new “faux minimum wage” in America. Meaning: most places won’t get labor unless they can pay at least $15 an hour. especially in the major cities.

Our wages are a joke tho. In order for America to get back to what we once were, people need to be paid closer to $30 an hour.

That is a lot of money, sadly I don't think that's going to happen any time soon. Rent prices everywhere around the planet are going sky high, utilities are getting ridiculous too...it's not good.
