Trumpet, you will never make even the current minimum wage giving it away for free at the pickle park. Now go wipe your chin. And get a job.
So don't work retail. Get a real job that requires some actual skills rather than just repeating "Do you want fries with that..." It's sad that someone should make even prevailing minimum wage to wave items at a cash register that knows more math than they do...
That aside, since we don't know how many people per household are working, if the median income is $56,000 as previously stated then:
One person earns about $25 an hour
Two persons earn about $12.50 an hour
Three persons earn less than minimum wage an hour (so this is unlikely to be the case).

in 2021 dollars the highest the Min Wage has ever been was under $12. I am OK with going to $12, anything more than that will require me to be sold.
This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.
Money is only temporary. Find something you love....... and do it. Everything else will fall into place. Having said that,.... no matter where I look I can never find an ad that says.....Help wanted. Man to kick back on beach chair , check out the bikini's and suck down Cuba Libre's all day. Im doing that for nuthin all summer long now but it would sure be great if I could get paid for it. Any of you guys ever see that position posted,... PLEASE let me know. I have decades of experience, plenty of references and a longggggggg resume. !

Well, wages at Lowe's an Home Depot vary by what you do. Pro sales people get paid more than cashiers. The various staff in different departments get paid more to have skills and knowledge of their area and have to take trade tests to prove it. People with skills, like butchers or specialty managers get paid more at grocery stores for their knowledge. It's only the unskilled, or low training requirement jobs that get stuck at or near minimum wage.
Also, the wage curve is not a flat line, but more like a bell curve with some kurtosis in it:
The median wage is a good indicator of what most wages are, and far better an indication than minimum wage is.
Lowes has a Min Wage of $12/HR, plus they handed out $100 million in bonus money to hourly workers last year.
