The various big grocery stores here are all union (except Malama) and those people make well over minimum wage. With the exception of the butcher, I do not think any of those jobs are highly skilled. Walmart and Target locally, all pay well over minimum wage as do the various chain burger joints. Again, these are not highly skilled jobs and no one should be trying to make a career or raise a family on this type of job.
It is very bizarre that some people think that a living wage should be paid for what should be entry level jobs, which used to be the exclusive entry point of high school kids looking to make a few bucks in their first foray into the job market. I cringe when I see interviews with 5+ year burger flippers, complaining that they don't make more money.
