More Jobs is the answer
Just as the Labor Department is about to release the March employment report I read an article saying that most of the news jobs that have been created do not pay enough to actually support the workers.
The study, commissioned by Wider Opportunities for Women, a non-profit group, says that a single person needs to be making $14 an hour to effectively make ends meet in our society. That is almost twice the rate that the federal government in it’s wisdom has designated as the minimum wage.
How can a person survive and even thrive in such an environment? How can you make it when you are earning only half of what you need. It’s simple.
MORE JOBS!
That’s right just do the math. If you are making $7.25 per hour at a job and just get a second job that pays the same you will be making over the fourteen dollars an hour required. Not only enough to thrive on but you can even have a few extra dollars for those luxuries like a monthly movie night or some meat in your diet.
This is how the happy workers at CrapCo do it. Many work more than one job and not only do they make more but they have much less free time to spend it. Of course in the developing nations where we have generously built many of our manufacturing facilities the minimum wage is… more minimum… but then so is the cost of life, er living.
