I saw an article about a firm a few years ago that was offering a "salary" of $10,000 a year to a new lawyer, which is well below the federal minimum wage, and even further below the minimum wage in Boston where this job was. That was when the job market was really bad, and I imagine nowadays they'd have trouble filling the position at that salary, but it does illustrate how companies circumvent minimum wage law by offering "salaries." --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:923963231] in Politics C...
