Walmart, McDonald's and many other fast food places are hiring they pay way more than minimum wage. A door greeter at Walmart can get anywhere between $14-$16 an hour and the prices go up from there. people who shop for the online shoppers get paid $17 to $18 an hour or so I'm told. McDonald's starts at $18 an hour. Most fast food places are starting at $18 an hour and that's mostly because nobody wants to work. They're having to throw money at people to get them to work. So I don't know who's actually paying minimum wage in the state but every place I've looked into getting a job at they paid way more than that min wage
