I was at a workshop that discussed class and race and they said that a living wage is $28/hour. That's how much people would need to make in order to pay the bills and have money left over to save and get out of poverty.
I would like to see nonprofit organizations paying at least minimum wage. I'm getting a little sick of 'we're doing it for the kids' bullshit. Yeah, I am doing it for the kids, but I can't pay my bills.
