Damn, I wonder why birth rates are going down. /s
Unfortunately, not as bad as my state. “In Oklahoma, employees under 18 years old who have not graduated high school, and students under 22 enrolled in school, can be paid below the standard minimum wage. The state minimum for these exempt, non-student, or minor workers can be as low as $2.00/hour”
That’s fucking slave wages, what the fuck are we doing
Capitalism.
Slavery 2.0
That’s fucking evil. “If you want a better paycheck then you can go die in a war for oil.”
That statement has been true for decades. The military is easily the best social ladder in the US. I went from Walmart to a six figure job with one enlistment.
Not so fun fact; this has been the case over here in the Netherlands since at least the 1980’s. On a scale of 1 to 10, how progressive are we now?
Damn 5 euro an hour for the youngests, you were not joking. But I suppose it’s not common?
It’s very common, especially retail will pay the minimum and mostly schedule minors during weekends and evenings.
