Link local minimum wage to three times median rent for a 2 bedroom apartment, then. Solve both problems! :)
(EDIT: assuming you have policy to maintain full employment…)
- paul_f 5y agoPerfect! :-) Too many people forget that if you are incapable of working, the minimum wage is zero
- seattle_spring 5y agoI've never understood why working the most entry level job should afford you a midrange 2br. Why not link minimum wage to 3x rent for an entry level apartment?

- Robotbeat 5y agoGood enough for me, but the difference isn’t huge.
