Get out of your bubble. It's a living wage in a good chunk of Western Europe.
- falcolas 3y agoThese people don't live in Europe. They live in the US. They'd be paid accordingly less if they lived in Europe. Though they'd probably have better safety nets.
- sandworm101 3y agoBut this is in the USA, the land of paid healthcare and limited safety nets. 15 is a knife-edge existence in US cities.
- kevingadd 3y agoSure, and there are a bunch of countries where the average wage is the equivalent of $2/hr. Is that where the contractors in question live? Then it's not a meaningful point of comparison.
