Even with minimum wages at 15 dollars, it is still hard to say this is a decent job, although this is the already among the highest globally.
The problem lies that the value of assets, especially housing etc, increase much faster than wages can catch up.
- throwawayboise 6y agoI honestly think that part of the problem is that the older people who make decisions on things like minimum wage remember their own minimum wage jobs. My first job paid $3.35/hr. $15/hr is $30K a year full-time. I barely made more than that at my first professional programming job out of college. It sounds insane to me on first hearing that $15/hr is not "decent" pay for an entry level, non-skilled position.
