Go tell that to Oklahomans and others still making a minimum wage of $7.25 an hour
"Most" who are in those positions tend to make at least minimum wage, if not more, but that is not a guarantee, and it is harder to claim tips as "stable income" when trying to get credit/housing.
Median wage/rent is hard to apply. Totally different results if you look at what the typical renter makes (at least in my area). Minimum wage is one thing...but when it takes 3-4x minimum wage to stay at 0 every month things get difficult.

very kind of you to offer them all a job at twice that. how do i reach out to you?
(I'm not gonna spoil it, I wanna see if anyone else can figure it out)
I'm very interested in hearing the opportunity you can give someone who's willing to work for $14.50/hr though.
I see* that 54% voted in the 2024 general election. Let’s say that vote was close (as it usually is in the US I could be wrong.) so that the vote went 60/40 split. That 60% only represents 33% of the population of Oklahoma.
Seems hard to say thats what people wanted when nearly half of them expressed no opinion, or worse, were unable to vote for reasons we simply don’t know.
I do wonder what the results would be if voting were mandatory and there was enough time given for ALL to vote. Don’t you?

Why are you even making this comment? The comment you responded to was obviously talking about median wages of the entire US population. Real Wages are near all-time highs - it's just a fact, you can look up the data yourself.
