@chatswithchass2.0: With that being said, a little over 800k people are paid at or below $7.25. HOWEVER, 7.25 is not livable. $26 is livable. Something has to be done about the cost of living. #minimumwage #costofliving #economy
If it’s meant for high school students then any place that pays minimum wage should be required to be closed during school hours 🤷🏻♀️

It's not necessarily meant for high schoolers, it's meant to be an introductory wage. I understand that things are more expensive now but the higher that minimum wage goes, the more expensive things get.

Minimum wage should be decided locally. Not by the federal government.

Many high schoolers are learning money management and covering their car fees or phone fees, minimum wage would not cover either of those. They aren’t even given a chance to learn healthy money management.

I don’t disagree but min wage and the standard of living will never go hand n hand. If they raise minimum wage, prices will increase more.

I’m down raise it to $50 because everything else will make that same increase percentage if not more. You will still be dirt poor and not afford anything.

Minimum wage isn’t worth working for no matter what amount of work I’m doing. It’s not worth seven dollars an hour.💔

Im all fine for a bump in min wage but a discussion needs to be had about having a similar standard of living that we had ~50 years ago for those scraping by on low skilled positions

Min wage is pointless and basically only paid to jobs that supplement with tips. My teenagers make $14+/hr. It’s not difficult.

That’s funny, in high school with all of the random jobs that I had I averaged more money per hour than any job I have gotten since turning 18 and getting my diploma.

Wages are not based on your needs; wage is based on the value you add to the endeavor.

I appreciate all opinions. We should be able to discuss things that we may not agree on. My hope is that we can meet in the middle or at the very least be kind and respectful. 💕

If I wasn’t still living at home I would be able to afford to live. I’m thankful and lucky that my parents don’t charge me rent but I do pay for internet also all the dog meds (which is my childhood dog) it’s at least 150 a month.

also the only readily available jobs that are minimum wage it is so hard to find jobs with availability that aren’t minimum wage. i live in a small town and my fiancé makes 32 dollars an hour and it took him a lot of time and effort to get to that point and we STILL live paycheck to paycheck
