I don't think anyone needs to defend the idea that working 2,000 hours per year "should" earn someone a living wage.
How about this: If your business can't afford to pay a "full living wage" for a full time job you "shouldn't" be in business.
- khedoros1 9y agoSounds good. Then eliminate welfare of any kind for anyone who's working a full-time job, because, by definition, they're making a "full living wage", and don't need additional assistance. I'm legitimately curious what things would look like when a new equilibrium is established. Which industries were destroyed, which arose, and which pivoted? What happened to the people who worked for the unsustainable businesses?
- dismantlethesun 9y agoThe wages paid are typically good enough for a single person to live. It's not good enough to support any dependants though.
- golergka 9y agoWhy are you measuring effort that goes into a job and not it's utility to other people? Wasting effort on things that people don't value doesn't make you automatically deserve anything.
