Hard work should have value and should be rewarded with a wage that one can live on. While the person in this article is living, they are still not earning enough to support themselves and their family without supplementing from a food pantry. Because this is a contract position they are not allowed to work more than thirty hours a week.
I would argue that this shows that this is not a living wage.

- thatswrong0 13y ago> Hard work should have value No it shouldn't, at least not because the work is hard. I could spend 16 hours a day 7 days a week digging holes in the Sahara desert which are of no use to anybody. I would be working incredibly hard, but I would be producing no value, so I do not see why I should be rewarded anything. I only will and should be 'rewarded', in the sense that someone else is willing to pay me for my work, if my labor produces something of value for someone else.
- jedmeyers 13y agoWhat should have value is how much "service" you render to other people. It should not matter whether providing this service comes hard to you or not - it's all up to you.
