The best you can muster is that minimum wage (isn't) meant to be a living wage. #119 | Posted by ClownShack
Honestly minimum wage shouldn't be a living wage, it should be an entry level wage for new young workers without work experience, and even then it should be like $15 per hour. Jobs that require experience should be paying a livable wage relative to the area you are working in. Something like 3x the average rent would be a suitable equation. If the average rent in your town is $1250, then livable wage would be about $21.63 per hour. Also, it should not require two working adults to raise a family, someone needs to be home to actually parent these kids.
