Here’s a elephant in the living room:

“minimum wage” is over 10 bucks an hour in the US.

Unless you work as a server, bartender, waitress, waiter or any other “tip-based income” job.

Their hourly wage is less than 3 dollars an hour.

The rest of their income is made in tips, almost none of which are reported as income.
