Often misunderstood caveat is that the hours you work can’t make you dip below minimum.

The duties test stand, but supervisory is not required, independent professional stands.

I thought you had to have supervisory responsibilities too. $35K is barely even enough to live on in St. Louis, let alone anywhere with a higher COL. So if you moved there and got a $35-45K job they could make you work 60 hours a week for no extra money. That would stink. Most jobs at that level are not worth it. It needed to be higher. Screwed again!!

The article does state that this is a starting salary for an exempt employee who is expected to work 40 hours of time. Now if the job requires more hours than the salary can be negotiated to reflect this, using the numbers listed above.
