I made $11/hr back in 1992 which I considered a low wage. Minimum wage in 1992 was $5.50. Federally now it’s $7.50/hr. Some states have higher. , Florida being $10/hr and California being$13/hr
Prices of things since 1992 have gone up 300-700% but the Federal minimum wage has only gone up 100%. Gas, for example, has gone up 400%. Toyota pickup roughly up 500%. Rent where I used to live in 1992 has gone up 600%. Food I’m paying probably 300% more
Based on my calculations with cost of living , the min wage should be, at least, $25/hr to be able to pay your bills
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78221947 The Minimum wage is not designed to pay your bills. Before the disaster of Biden / Obama, there were only about 800,000 households in the USA that were headed by a person who had a minimum wage income. The minimum wage is meant to be a starting wage for low-skill inexperienced people to enter the work force and climb the wage scale. I calculate you are shill 'tard.
