It is a local issue, i agree 100% there, and i was using my home town as well as health ins being partially provided by the employer, so in reality its closer to 13.25 to 13.50 an hour
you could "survive" with allot less
10% in savings
vehicle
500.00 a month apt
2100 a month on a 4 week month
200 savings
200 9% IRS with 9-9-9
500 apt
400 food
leaves 150 a week in fuel oil maint... etc...ins on car
tight
But who qualifies for this living wage? Does any company that employees people have to pay it. Is it only for full time employment or part time employment? Does it apply to 16 year olds or does it apply to someone with a spouse and/or children only?
good question, for every-one is the answer
Look the cost gets a pass thru
when I estimate work we have a bare rate as well as a all-in rate
all we would do is up that bare rate, same would be for Exxon, Subway, etc....
Your answer sounding like you were thinking outloud, it doesn't really flow. Bare rate? All-in Rate? You need to expand your response a bit. It simply sounds like you are describing a minimum wage which we already have and the living wage folks don't like.
