Hereβs a elephant in the living room:
βminimum wageβ is over 10 bucks an hour in the US.
Unless you work as a server, bartender, waitress, waiter or any other βtip-based incomeβ 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.
