In my area of WV, McDonalds and the rest are $10 on their signs , the Mickey D' s I visit EVERY morning has had a sign taped to their window for a least 10 months for a "maintenance position" must be available all the damn time and starts at $10.50 but quickly goes to $10.85 ... i ask the manager dude all the time what kind of maintenance guy he expects for that wage , Shruggs ...
In direct contrast to that, Suzies, a local breakfast place , had $14 to 17 on their marquee... still seems like nobody wants to do it...

Like most things these days titles for jobs advertised is misleading and most likely far from what the title says. Most would think maintenance would be fixing broken equipment or repairing refrigeration infrastructure. In reality it’s a paint scraper, a bucket and elbow grease. Ever see one of these kitchens that hasn’t been maintained daily? The grease and dead food buildup is as think as roofing shingles and scrapes off about the same way. That is a FULLtime job as the turnover is at least weekly if not daily!

I've heard they're pretty rough.

Isn't that the definition of insanity?

yeah , kinda ...addiction seems more accurate in my case. Beer seems to help "work the kidneys" so thats my way of fighting back , its a vicious circle that will most certainly end in my demise...sadly ?

We all do the justification game.

I've brought myself to believe that bacon grease and the like actually lubes my arteries, helping them flow better!

Can't name one, huh?
I'll be honest. There's no way that you have any knowledge of wages in this country if you could make a statement as asinine as "Almost every state in the union" is paying over $13.13/hr minimum wage "Many pay much more". We're talking about information available via a 3 second Google search. Then to follow that statement up with "Almost no company is paying under $10/hr.... that's not a thing." My question is what data have you seen that verifies this, because it seems that you are just making baseless claims.

Then you have two different people tell you they've seen places hiring for up to $10 and you just write them off as liars. Like seriously? You seem to have a strong case of conformation bias.

But to answer your question, Yes I can name a job paying under $10/hr. But these jobs don't exist right? They're not a "thing". Must be figments of my imagination.

Regardless of how you feel about who should be working these low wage jobs they do exist.

Senior citizens bitching about $15 minimum wage while they chill in their homes they bought for 100k that are now worth 600k, living off a pension and social security, planning RV trips and playing with all their toys…. Kinda annoys me.

Had they not let politicians sell the future of this country, maybe their grandchildren wouldn’t be looking for higher wages. ??‍♂

Bear in mind those 100k homes were bought on $4.50/hr at 18-20% interest rates.

edit:
Politicians will sell anything at any time. Get used to it.

I live in the real world, bud. Go to any reasonably populated medium size town/city, and you won't find any employer that offers less than $12/hr. for any job.

Sure... go out into booniesland, Oklahoma where no one has a job anyway and you can get all those cherry-picked job postings you just shared. Minimum wage isn't a concern for those areas at all. The people complaining about minimum wage are never from those places. So, they don't matter.

Be smarter.

Their grandchildren need to quit complaining about how cold their half caf decaf latte is from Starbucks and get to work on time and maybe the minimum wage issue wouldn't matter so much to them.
