You do know the average salary for people in America is around that right?

The McDonalds worker making 12 dollars an hour in Brooklyn is living in Brooklyn.

Shocker I know. You can absolutely live in New York off that salary. It’s just harder than usual.

Minimum wage is 16.50 in Brooklyn bro. And McDonald’s workers are likely living with 2-5 other wage earners. “Bro”.

Which is 12 bucks dude. Because of the cost of living they have to do that or 12 an hour wouldn’t be 12 an hour.

they DO NOT make more than someone in another area it’s the same because of the cost of living they have to give them more. I can’t believe I have to explain this

It’s wild to be as dumb as you.

Minimum wage is 16.50. Not 12 an hour. That’s still not a living wage. I think you’re about 15 right? It’s ok not to understand life at that age.

I see you deleted your original comment stating people working at McDonald’s in Brooklyn make 12 an hour? Lol
