Where is this / are they actually paying those rates?

Tons of places have "up to $xx/hr" or "$20*/hr" plastered everywhere across their hiring advertisements but they really mean $7.25 for under 21yo, $10 for under 26yo, and will only offer the full pay they advertise if you're a single parent or meet some other nonsensical criteria.

It's a completely predatory tactic corporations are using to shape a social narrative against the lower classes in an attempt to get them to accept the lower wages via negative social pressure.

It's intentionally trying to warp people's perspective into thinking that jobless people are 'lazy' or 'just don't want to work' when 'there are jobs everywhere!'
