It's an excellent wage. Federal minimum wage for farmers has changed. My bad. The minimum is $7.25. I thought it was lower, but it's not - though some caveats with overtime exist. I'm not surprised that I was a little mistaken. We don't pay anywhere close to minimum wage.
And, yeah... You can live quite well on $20 an hour in Maine.
Nothing wrong with that. Is farm wages like waitress wages? I think they can still get away with paying waitresses like $3.50 an hour. Plus tips. But I don't know for sure.
You would probably laugh and be in awe if I told you just how much I live comfortably on here LoL
They're a bit like waitress wages, but not as much as they used to be.
And, they can 'pay' the waitress $3.50 - so long as their tips bring them over minimum wage. If they don't make tips enough to make minimum wage, the employer is to make up the difference.
LOL I could live cheap - 'cause I already have everything I need. However, I don't... I probably spend more in a week than you spend in a month.
>I probably spend more in a week than you spend in a month.
LoL Probably
You might spend more in a week than I've earned this year
