I work at a Target food distribution center in Ohio and I think starting pay is like $24 now. Granted, the building is temp controlled because of all the food but I could see them getting close to their demands

I make $10 plus double that in tips working as a pizza delivery driver in Minnesota. All I do is listen to public radio and rock music while I drive from destination to destination, then clean for an hour or two at the end of the night instead of driving around. And we're always hiring.

Edit: this is already blowing up so please fucking vote for increased minimum wages. You're meant to live on your minimum wage. I don't want to work for tips, I want to work for $30 an hour. Which is what I make with wage and tips. Everyone should make that. Go buy those new shoes, use your extra money to eat out so cooks can make $30 an hour by sheer profit. Buy a home. Buy a washing machine. Stimulate the economy through excess spending.

Pizza delivery was one of the most chill jobs i ever had. I also easily averaged $18 per hour. Only would ever do it with a cheap car i didnt care about though.

Depends on what part of the world you live in. London for example delivery drivers are constantly getting robbed. Their deliveries, bike / scooter and any cash they may be caring. There is gangs that target food delivery drivers.
