I've worked full time for about 17 years now, and I believe I've totaled about two months of that working minimum wage... Well, that was before I started my first full time job... as a dishwasher, where I earned about $1.50 over minimum wage.
We're at 5% unemployment despite all those jobs we've "shipped overseas" and the millions of illegal immigrants we bring in "to do the jobs Americans don't want to do." There are plenty of jobs out there that pay more then monopoly money.

perhaps in your area. In mine being department manager of a walmart pays minimum wage. You have a way to work up if there any "up" in your area. In my area your lucky to get minimum wage and you gotta fight for every quarter an hour increment raise every year. i work everyday and am never late and know enough to manage my department, they just fire everyone around me and keep me at the low pay. But it could be worse i could live in texas where the minimum wage is much lower.
