Forgive me for the intrusion in this discussion, but the $10 an hour part, is that typical in the States? It just doesn't seem enough given what I imagine the cost of living must be like in the cities over there.

I've lived in Australia, made less money than I do now in my home country and it still beat out what I've been hearing about the wages in America. And on top of that the cost of living in Australia is pretty high if you're unlucky/forced to live in the major cities.

Genuine question, is it as bad in America as I'm hearing?
