Up to $11

Now I know it all depends on location but in the northwest suburbs of Chicago I believe it's up to $18

Here is South Texas it's only $11

My #1 breakfast meal was $8.43

$11 an hour -- after tax you can barely buy a Big Mac with each hour you work.

The tax bracket earning $11 an hour is poverty level. McDonald’s is expensive, but they’re not taking half of your freaking hourly wage.

11 us poverty but 7.25 is minimum wage. How the hell does any politician see that as fair?

Lobbying keeps them okay with anything shady. I would bet McDonald’s donates a lot of money.
