Even though the federal minimum wage is still $7.25 an hour (as of 2009), fewer and fewer employers can get away with paying at least double that amount.
A worker would need to earn $17.14 per hour with a 35-hour weekly schedule for 52 weeks to reach the U.S. poverty line of $31,200 for a family of four. However, full-time schedules at a single retailer can be difficult to find.
