Have you thought about calling the stores yourself to ask them directly?
Most retail stores are minimum wage, or slightly above minimum. TJMaxx, Homegoods, Marshalls are actually all the same store chain. They pay 9$ an hour, going to $10 an hour in June. WalMart is also going to $10 an hour.
However, you will get like 10-15 hours max per week most of the year at TJM/H/M.
Yikes, I had no idea some of these places were still paying minimum! Makes you wonder how anyone makes a living!
This is seriously news to you?
"In the United States, the state of Maryland and several municipalities and local governments have enacted ordinances which set a minimum wage higher than the federal minimum that requires all jobs to meet the living wage for that region. This usually works out to be $3 to $7 above the federal minimum wage. However, San Francisco, California and Santa Fe, New Mexico have notably passed very wide-reaching living wage ordinances.[citation needed] U.S. cities with living wage laws include Santa Fe and Albuquerque in New Mexico; San Francisco, California; and Washington D.C.[13] The city of Chicago, Illinois also passed a living wage ordinance in 2006, but it was vetoed by Mayor Richard M. Daley.[14] Living wage laws typically cover only businesses that receive state assistance or have contracts with the government.[15]
This effort began in 1994 when an alliance between a labor union and religious leaders in Baltimore launched a successful campaign requiring city service contractors to pay a living wage.[16] Subsequent to this effort, community advocates have won similar ordinances in cities such as Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and St. Louis. In 2007, there were at least 140 living wage ordinances in cities throughout the United States and more than 100 living wage campaigns underway in cities, counties, states, and college campuses.[17] In 2014, Wisconsin Service Employees International Union teamed up with public officials against legislation to eliminate local living wages. According to U.S. Department of Labor data, Wisconsin Jobs Now - a non-profit organization fighting inequality through higher wages - has received at least $2.5 million from SEIU organizations from 2011 to 2013.[18]"
