Some companies would take advantage of no minimum wage. In South Florida wages are much lower than the rest of the country overall. My boyfriend interviewed at jobs where they wanted 5+ years experience with SQL/.Net and were paying $25-30/hr

Costco pay their employees almost full benefits and $16.75/hr or there about, and have the lowest turnover rate. It's owner/ceo even came out in favor of Obamacare.
$14/hr is probably right if it's a family of 4.

I don't know how a company can "take advantage" I mean if you don't want to work for $4/hr. Don't apply for the job...
