The people that I see complaining about minimum wage are the business owners that have to pay it.
I have heard them argue that min wage should not be something a person lives on-it was designed for young people just learning the job market and maybe retired people.
While I agree sort of about that and i get where they are coming from I know and most people seem to know that that isn't what has happened so people are getting min wage jobs and living off them as thier sole income.
Usually these business owners chime in with "And they should go to school if they want to make more $"
While I also agree with that statement-I know and most people know that higher education isn't an option for everyone all the time-I believe where there is a will there is a way, but I also know how hard it is and how expensive it is.
SO....to answer your questionabout people having multiple jobs and living w/in thier means-some of that is true-but I believe the cost of living has gone up but not wages.
Do I know all of the research for sure? No. BUT I'VE SEEN THE MEMES!
