The Federal Minimum Wage Is a Poverty Wage
The federal minimum wage of $7.25/hour hasn't changed since 2009. Meanwhile, rent, food, healthcare, and childcare costs have exploded. Working full-time at minimum wage means you're earning $41,746 less than what you need to survive in California.
This is why we demand a $30/hour federal minimum wage indexed to inflation. No one working full-time should live in poverty. Period.
Living wage data based on MIT Living Wage Calculator methodology. Values represent typical costs for housing, food, healthcare, transportation, childcare, and other necessities.
