I definetly agree with raising it, it's basically entirely useless right now as it's so low awful jobs already pay more than it anyway. it just seems trying to make it entirely inflation adjusted is ignoring the reality of women entering the workforce. I think two people working full time on minimum wage should be able to afford a stable family though.

Of those making the minimum wage or less, 62% are women and 38% are men. If we have to think about women in the workforce, then let’s start by considering that the majority of people working awful jobs for awful are women and that even if they leave those jobs they still have a wage gap inflicted upon them. The minimum wage is meant to help people by enforcing fairness, and in this case it will likely help women.
