Link local minimum wage to three times median rent for a 2 bedroom apartment, then. Solve both problems! :)

(EDIT: assuming you have policy to maintain full employment…)

I've never understood why working the most entry level job should afford you a midrange 2br. Why not link minimum wage to 3x rent for an entry level apartment?

Good enough for me, but the difference isn’t huge.

Perfect! :-) Too many people forget that if you are incapable of working, the minimum wage is zero
