"Living wage is like safety net - it is a minimum to live modest honest life."
So what is the living wage? Give me a number! Why can't you people give a number?!
In depends on the part of the country you live in. There are plenty of studies on that subject and they are being used to determine the poverty level.
Living wage and poverty level differs between countries, regions and depends also on climate (you MUST have heat in winter in Russia and Canada).
