Nobody actually gets an offer or employment for anything near that $20/hour - the fine print says "Up to $20/hour", and you have to be there for years to get close.
- DoesntMatter22 3y agoDepends. Where I live in the US 15 bucks with no experience is the starting pay. 20 with a little experience is doable. Min wage here is like 13 buck an hour
- phil21 3y agoI can start tomorrow with zero experience as a 40 something for $18/hr. My kid and his friends in their 20s all command $22+ these days for similar work, due to youth and experience. Not saying it's an amazing wage but these jobs are regularly available to anyone in many areas of the country at the moment.
