Quote:Again, as I said earlier.  Minimum wage is not, nor was it ever meant to be a "living wage".

 

That aside, even a young person working their entry level job earning minimum wage can afford to save some, even if it is not the full 10%.  If a person over the age of 20 can only work a minimum wage job without moving up or getting a pay raise, perhaps there is another problem.

NOW yes, but in it's infancy is was designed to be just that...and the point remains, people living on minimum wage don't have the means to save 10% like you have suggested

 

yeah the problem is the economy and corporate greed...ceo's making multi million dollar bonuses and salaries while they hire mostly part time workers paid minimum wage...walmart is one of the largest companies in the world who staff their stores with mostly part time people so they don't have to pay benefits and pay their corporate officers tons more
