Companies pat themselves on the back because they offer what SHOULD be the minimum wage.
Meanwhile, $15 an hour would have been a livable wage in 2010. Now we need around $22-$25 per hour.
These idiots want to be “economists”? Then adjust minimum wage with the rate of inflation. Otherwise the concept of a minimum wage actually hurts workers instead of assuring them a baseline in their wages.
By setting the bar so low, they blind us to the real fact. That anyone making any amount of money under $20 an hour is being underpaid, regardless of legality
