it makes no sense to me. I read an unrelated article that claimed 80 million Americans (1/4 of the pop) were low-income. So who’s paying these kind of wages? Must be big city with a minimum masters’ degree?
Small town factories, here in the south start people off at $9/hr. I’ve “topped out” at $15.61/hr. Can’t go any higher here. Got to find a better job.
