Linda Thompson barely gets by on her $200-a-week job.

OK...Just by this first line I know this story is BS. There is no way in hell anyone who lives in this country has a job that pays $200 a week, nooooo way. Even if they are illegal, and judging by this womans name she don`t sound like no Mexican.

You're right, federal minimum wage is $5.15/hour = $206/week.

Massachusetts minimum wage is $6.75/hour = $270/week.

Both assume a 40 hour work week.
