> Baristas will earn, depending on market and tenure, from $15 to $23 per hour, it said. Not sure how much that'll influence the cost of living in places where it's effectively implemented.

I've seen a documentary where a mother in California useed to commute 3 hours each way, leaving her home at 5am and returning at 8pm. And she was not even a white collar job.
