There's one area where hourly wages are way below minimum wages in a country you wouldn't expect: Animators in Japan. It's not uncommon for them to make ~$2/hour because they're paid "per sheet" that they draw.

(I think minimum wages are 800 yen per hour, or roughly $6.50)

Seeing that makes me wince. It was not long ago that you would have instead typed "or roughly $10". I'm not sure to what extent that's affected minimum-wage workers in Japan though, if at all.
