    The min wage in Philadelphia is a dismal $7.25/hour, while the avg rent in our city is $1,423. To pay for rent, residents must work 50 hrs/week. That doesn’t include the cost of food, medicine, & other necessities. We NEED a livable wage!

        I had to move from Philly over a year ago because of this. When I was living there, I lived in a shared house with 6 other people, and it was still almost a grand a month including electric, etc. I was active in my neighborhood, and loved the city, I miss it immensely.

        Maybe if we didn’t have to compete with illegal immigrants for work our wages would go up?

        Hey LAX: my advice, stay in school & get good grades & if you're not college bound - a skill. So, when you graduate you won't have to whine & complain about how immigrants came here & stole your job.

        You realize that if you make $7.25 you don't take home $7.25? Take out taxes and possibly union dues.

        I don't think that many people in the city earn minimum wage, most make more. If you're paying minimum wage no one will work for you.
