I also recall most of them saying that a lot of the jobs...WERE minimum wage.

Which was $8.46 per hour until this year, when it shot all the way up...to $8.56 per hour.

But hey, maybe for the highly technical and intellectually demanding position of perusing all media/internet sources on a daily basis, that discuss TV or Da Family...the pay might even get all the way up to $10.01 per hour.
Most entry level jobs in the Villages are minimum wage. But office jobs tend to start a little higher. Not much - but some. It's still poverty-level wages but that tends to suit retirees who are on Social Security and need to maintain a low maximum income, but don't want to or can't yet leave the work force completely.
