Millions of ppl work for minimum wage in this country, and they are not all flippin burgers. chances are that the ppl who installed the cat 5 cable in your office were paid minimum wage..
I used to volunteer at my church food pantry and let me tell you the majority of folks that needed help were working 40+ hours a week under dangerous conditions.
The fact is that a rising tide floats all ships.

Neither does title, they can give you title of programer or CEO of the world, but if your actual job duties don't fall under the exceptions 80% of the time you are OWED time and a half for those hours over 40.. check out the link
