I think back to FDR and his proposal of a “living wage” not a minimum wage and I wonder to myself what it should be. I find myself thinking that the monthly wage should be based on the average rent for a 1br apartment in your county times 3 and renewed every year. This way it’s always matching peoples biggest (and most important) expense, housing. Is county specific AND it follows the rule that housing expenses should be 1/3rd of your income. Let me know your thoughts.
