I mean conclusion seems simple here, raise minimal wages. Preferably by area too, if minimum wage doesn't allow to subside in reasonable commuting distance it means it is too low.

> Social benefits like food stamps allow individuals to take jobs at lower wage, and therefore drive down the price.

So subsidizing corporate workforce exploitation with taxes. Terrible idea.

Late response, but not every workers situation is identical. Someone might be single and someone might have 10 children with disabilities.

This is why programs like food stamps and disability support take into account the situation of the individual
