    Gross income (before taxes) for US federal minimum wage is $15,080 for full-time. So, close to 10x less.

        Federal minimum wage was last raised to $7.25 per hour effective July 24, 2009.

        It’s a good thing that was definitely a livable wage in 2009 and that there hasn’t been any inflation since then.
