Imagine what kind of employees you get for $7.25/hour. Yes, that's Indiana's minimum wage.

I did a bit of Google research and couldn't find any indication that RV plant employees are paid at minimum wage. The job listings for Thor, for example show pay in the $15.00 range for general labor. Forest River is shown to have many positions paying in the $20.00 Hr. range (source Glassdoor.com) These are new employee, entry level wages, I would expect those wages would increase with seniority and experience.
It isn't exactly Silicon Valley executive level pay, but it is way more than any quoted minimum wage for the state.
Over the years the minimum wage conversation has somehow morphed from not exploiting high school kids and totally unskilled labor entering the work force for the first time to how it should be a living wage for a family. If you are not in one of those two categories and still making that minimum wage, your career path is in need of some serious re-evaluation.
