There are lots of unemployed people in Oakland, dreaming of having one of those increasingly rare jobs — “Man, if I got me one of those minimum wage jobs, I would rush out and get me the fanciest phone evuh! An iPhone6! Maybe a 7 or a 8!”

"When I worked 56 hours my check was about $480," she remembers.
This month the highest minimum wage in the nation went into effect in Oakland, Calif. Today if she works those same hours, Donaldson estimates she'd make about $170 more every two weeks.
either gross or net I can't see the numbers working if she's working 56 hrs a week or 56 hours over 2 weeks.
am I math challenged ?

Man, she's got no ambition at all. When I was working a part-time job in high school, I was saving up for a brand-new Pontiac Trans Am.
30 years later, I'm still saving up for that Trans Am. LOL.
