Inflation's Impact: $15.00 an Hour Minimum Wage Not Enough for Job-Seekers

[Blue3]

Now they want at least $20 an hour:

$15 an hour isn't enough. Job seekers want at least $20, making inflation fight harder

Not "they want." It's "they need."

$15 was what was needed back in 2015, almost a decade ago now.

Thanks for looking into the details on that.


It's also worth looking into how much a person would need to make in order to meet current costs of living, average/median student loan debt & medical debt & other debt, and meet the favorite "50-30-20 rule" of financial advisors, on a 40-hour work week. THAT should be the true poverty line, adjusted according to region.
