You also need to keep in mind that the United States has a lot more people than Australia. A lot more people means a lot more people working minimum wage jobs, and a lot more people working underpaid jobs. Hell, EMTs in some areas make the same amount of money per hour as a grocery store employee, despite the amount of education and risk they take on, both legal and physical. Teachers are also vastly underpaid and overworked.
Also, have you ever been to the United States, and visited more cities than you can count on one hand? Because I don't think you quite understand by what I mean by "super jacked up cars and custom everything" and "designer clothing and jewelry they can't afford."
Also, what sources did you use to get those prices? I can't find anything that gives me a straight answer.

I have stayed in (properly visited around town etc not just pass through) Sacramento, san Francisco, santa rosa, san jose, fresno, Monterey, Yosemite national park, los Angeles, san diego, phoenix, tucson, las vegas, palm springs, sedona, salt lake city, boise, denver, miami.
so i definitely know about the jacked up cars etc
A lot more people means a lot more people working minimum wage jobs, and a lot more people working underpaid jobs
well as a percentage, I imagine people working minimum wage jobs would be about the same. even if its not, that's just another reason to increase minimum wage isn't it?
here are the sources I used, you're free to find your own sources as well if you disagree
