Anesthesiologists are the boss it would seem!

The fact that the guy making your cheeseburger is the lowest paid person in the country should give you great pause to eat what he's making.

Not the lowest paid in the country, only on that chart. But the concept still stands. Though it's never actually bothered me... mostly because it's generally teenage kids just happy to have a job.

To think 23 years ago I worked as a 13yo at hungry jacks (Burger king) and if I got that same job now as a 36yo in the US the pay would be the same.

Something is wrong here.
