The minimum wage in the United States is no longer a living wage. At $7.25, the federal minimum hasnât kept up with the cost of living since the late 60s, and thereâs a growing movement among workers, policy analysts, state and city governments â and even some employers â to raise it.
You work hard for little money. Even after a longtime, you can't live on their pay. No perks here. I worked there for a year (before the min. wage increase) and I only made $5.75 after the year. Started out at $5.50 and then it took 3 months to get a 10 cent raise and another 6 months to get to my ending pay. I fought with my manager to give me full time but when I got to about week 10 of the required 12 weeks they would screw me over with less than FT hours and refused to give me more.
