All of those examples should be able to afford the basics off their wage. An apartment that isn’t three hours from work or requiring hot beds, transportation, food, healthcare, etc.

Yes, it gets complicated, but “$7.25/hr isn’t enough” is not complicated.

Amazing the market already figured that out. I would love to know what jobs out there are paying $7.25

Not everything needs a government mandate. Every drive thru, and service job I see is has $13, $15, $16 per hour wages, and this is in the midwest where the median income is hovering around 50-55K
