Good grief that's dreadful....not just the players but the MacDonalds salary amazes me. On minimum wage over here the worst you can legally be paid for a thirty-seven and a half hour week is well over $20,000 (over $17,000 aged 18-21, just under $13,000 at 16 & 17). No wonder you hear of Americans doing two jobs to make ends meet!

Our minimum wage levels don't vary by age of the worker, but they do vary by location. Individual states and even cities have the power to set a minimum wage over and above the federally mandated level ($5.15/hr), and many have done so. At least 29 of the 50 states are over it, with the state of Washington currently the highest ($7.93/hr), and some cities go higher than that. In Santa Fe, New Mexico, for instance, the minimum wage is $9.50 per hour (very close to the adult minimum wage level in the UK), and in San Francisco it's $9.14 per hour.
