I always hear about people who have rent and house notes to pay that are usually the same or more than what they are getting paid. On top of their rent or house note, there are other bills that they have to pay as well, such as gas, lights, and water. How is a person supposed to be able to provide in such cases as this? How can some one making a little more than minimum wage afford the costs of living? Why is it that different states in the same country have different living wages? Why do we have different minimum wages? Once people do work hard and receive their pay checks, the taxes take out such a large chuck that the people are still not getting the money that they have worked for. Why doesn't everyone get the benefits of the raising of minimum wage? Like some may remember, with my job others got paid more than me for the same job and experience just because they were hired at the same time minimum wage was being adjusted, but my pay did not change. So the other people got paid more than I did, even after I clearly made more money than them for the company and I was there for a longer period of time.
As you can see, there are a lot of things that I do not understand about minimum wage or living wage, but I hope to research them and learn more.
