> I live in a low cost of living area of the US, and fast food restaurants advertise paying $20+/hr here these days post-COVID inflation

Nobody actually gets an offer or employment for anything near that $20/hour - the fine print says "Up to $20/hour", and you have to be there for years to get close.

Depends. Where I live in the US 15 bucks with no experience is the starting pay. 20 with a little experience is doable.

Min wage here is like 13 buck an hour

I can start tomorrow with zero experience as a 40 something for $18/hr.

My kid and his friends in their 20s all command $22+ these days for similar work, due to youth and experience.

Not saying it's an amazing wage but these jobs are regularly available to anyone in many areas of the country at the moment.

Seattle’s minimum wage is $18.69/hr, and its increasing in 2024.
