  $7.25 is the federal minimum, which is the still minimum for many states.

    And $12-15/hr is a completely reasonable wage for an adult in many states.

        Many of the southern and central US states with low cost of living, like Alabama, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, etc. You’re not going to be rich, but you could afford housing, food, and other basic necessities.

        An equivalent yearly salary in SF, for example, is $45-56k/year (cost of living calculator), or $22-28/hr.
