If an employer tries that with an engineer he will quickly go out of business for lack of engineers. Price-Fixing schemes are illegal, except, apparently, when the government does them.
About 3.6 million actually paid at or below minimum wage.43.6 million Americans are living in poverty, which means they most likely make barely above minimum wage.
