    Have you been in the American minimum wage job market in the last 10 years or so? Every job that pays minimum wage doesn’t give enough hours for the employee to be full-time, which means they don’t get benefits, retirement contributions, etc. In these cases, outside of the onboarding costs, a $15 an hour employee does in fact cost $15 an hour.
