11. Um, actually, they can and do
It's not quite minimum, but my first job in NYC was working at the Strand for $6.75/hr (This was in 2002, so fairly recently). They truly treat their workers like shit there.

I had a degree from a respected university, but I had to take the job because I had been looking for work for over a year. Ahhh. The Bush economy.

They fired me for no apparent reason the day before I was to join the union. That's apparently fairly normal there.
