Besides companies obviously colluding to pay as little as they can (i.e. minimum wage), you know what's also bullshit? Many job openings even those above minimum wage requiring or preferring bi-lingual in Spanish.

I've noticed this since a year or two ago. It's ridiculous! Instead of legal foreigners learning English to work here (like it was in the past and should be).

I doubt it's like that in all states, but this is prevalent in California (yea I know...).
