Fun Fact: Two states, Georgia and Wyoming, have a minimum wage below $7.25 per hour.

So you only have to work a day and a half to pay for the tank of gas to get to your job if you only fill up once a week

Now don’t you go confusing people with facts and evidence

Yea....cost of living has skyrocketed compared to wages.
romagnolimike27
If I recall correctly from another post, the first minimum wage was in regards to factory workers.
AnastasiaM007
Why is this in my feed today? Don't forget-when this was signed, that single wage was to give a living wage to the worker,spouse and 3 kids.

If minimum wage rose in pace of corporate profits, minimum wage would be near $30 an hour today.
DeinnsBeans
Which is what I make and still am in the red every month with two kids.
GreyKnightTemplar666
Exactly. It was supposed to be the bare minimum, you're job should probably be near $60 had it all risen together
physicsisabitch
That's federal. A lot of states are more. So what you are saying is you live in a shitty state.
MrSatisify
Nope. My state minimum wage is $14 and hour. It's still too low. In fact, had the federal minimum wage kept pace 1/2
MrSatisify
with workers' productivity since 1968 the inflation-adjusted minimum wage would be $24 an hour. 2/2

how the fuck do you live on 2.13 an hour... Boycott any place paying that...
Exyr
Making 200$ a night in tips.
arthurvanhoudt
Tips are voluntary, these are obligatory add ons on an invoice!!!
sDsnAlien
If you vouch for tips being an acceptable income fuck u

so the owner gets free labor... and every patron supports slave labor, got it. I am not gonna tip because they NEED pay labor...
IdiotSavantTinker
Any place paying that is depending on your tips to pay their employees.
sambaah05
I get your point, but all of the money their employees get comes from you.
IdiotSavantTinker
OK now I have TWO argumentative replies from people who are agreeing with my comment.
sambaah05
Not argumentative. Its just a clarification. A place that pays $20 an hour, the money to pay that, comes from the customers. It's just math.
Rascael
and should be boycotted... They are essentially paying nothing for labor, YOU ARE... while they take the profit. They are not helping...
IdiotSavantTinker
Yup that's why I don't go to places like that.
sambaah05
All of the money to cover labor should come from customers. It's not coming from the business owner. Otherwise they'll go bankrupt. Should
sambaah05
They raise wages, of course. But that money still comes from whatever is received from customers.
